I’m fine with moving the age for voting and firearms ownership to 21, so long as you also require the minimum age to serve in the military to 21 as well, and treat those below 21 as minors in every other fashion as well, to include taxation.
My 20 year old son is not near mature enough to make good decisions on many things in life. I hope he comes around quickly, but to think of him voting at 16? Might as well give his vote to donkey to make the choice.
I think maybe lower the voting age to 6. After all children are so wise. Isn’t the whiney Thundberg bint wiser than all the rest of us? And if there is any doubt in their young skulls full of mush about who to vote for they can ask their LGBQRSTUVWXVZ teacher.
Good grief. I would have the voting age raised to age 25 (the time when the human brain fully matures), and I say that, having voted since I was 21. And believe me, I was young and dumb (and Democrat) back then.
Enough with the sort of but not really crap.
You either are an adult or you are not.
Under this proposal, would 16 year olds be allowed to vote on measures to lower the age of firearm purchases?
They are also for allowing dead people to vote.
No, many states allowed drinking at 18 until the early 80s, when the Federal government tied road money to a drinking age of 21.
Given all the unborn Democratic voters that desperate, lawless Democrats have been unthinkingly promoting the murder of for many decades, Pelosi's support for lowering voting age isn't surprising.
Insights welcome.
Also, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Again, insights welcome.
Of course.
They would like the voting age to be eight years old. They are at the forefront of advocating for full civil rights for children. (They want to usurp parental responsibilities, take them from parents and give them to government under the guise of “civil rights”.)
I am re-reading a great book right now about the climate change hoax called “Red Hot Lies” by Christopher Horner, and in it, he has a whole chapter about how the Left engages young children in political battles like this, turning them into nags who relentlessly hector their parents from within the household.
They have young and impressionable minds, and the Left sees those malleable minds as a resource to be mined and exploited.
Apparently the rats don’t care if they look ridiculous. Just win baby.
Trying to dumb down the voter pool to collect more votes and fool more idiots 🤪
If you can vote, you should be able to smoke, drink and have a gun.
Since we’re engaging in fantasy voting schemes, one vote per taxpaying citizen. If you’re a net tax eater for that tax year, your vote does not count. Also, end withholding and make all taxes due in full two weeks before election day, if you don’t pay at least a certain net total amount, say $1, you don’t get a ballot.
Next, no citizenship.
Anus Pressly has a screw loose. Sixteen year olds are nothing but young skulls full of mush. If they shouldn’t have guns, they sure as hell shouldn’t be voting. Wait until they get a job, start paying taxes, figure out what gender they want to be and life means something to them before they start electing retarded chimpanzees and start sending them to the District of Corruption
Lucky no one under 18 ever “has “ a gun.

Abolish the 26th Amendment. Increase the voting age back to 21 (25 or 30 would be better).
Need to raise to 21 except for the military.
