OK...we should similarly raise the VOTING age to 21, and the age of conscription.

[Howie66]

I disagree. Raise the age to vote to 25. Verified US Citizens, only.

I’m all in favor of raising the age to buy a rifle or gun to 21 as long as we can raise the voting age to 25.

If a person is too infantile to be trusted with a firearm, how can we trust them with the franchise?

If a person is so incompetent at life that they have to stay on their parents health insurance as a ‘child’ until 26 why would we trust them to make a rational decision on something as important as voting?

"OK...we should similarly raise the VOTING age to 21"

Raising the voting age would definitely be a fair add-on to Feinstein's AR-15 / semiautomatic rifle proposal.

In both cases we are talking about the maturity and judgement of individuals having to make serious decisions that have significant consequences.

NO! You are wrong. You will be taking the RIGHT to vote out of every military person aged 18-20 years and 364 days on voting day. THAT was one thing that I took very seriously when I was in the military. I was voting for MY Commander in Chief. Every military person has a right to vote for his or her commander. Since you have to be 18 to be in the military, then every, EVERY 18, 19 and 20 year old HAS A RIGHT to vote for their Commander, period!!!

Yep they’re the ones who made kids adults. We have plenty of 16 year olds I’d trust with my life. They aren’t liberals.

You know...I wouldn’t have a problem with voting, gun-purchasing, alcohol-purchasing and conscription age all being 21. I’ve got a feeling that this would be a no-go for the Democrats.

My humble guess is that Trump will play this well...saying sure...toss all four of these into the same bucket, with a waiver possible for kids to join the military before 21, if their parents sign off. But to accomplish this, you’d have to go and amend the Constitution on the voting age. Zero chance that this will occur.

Surely she is ok with raising the age to 21 for having abortions.

[mastertex]

It was determined by the DemoRats years ago that 18 year old could vote....now they question it....the voting age should be 25 and have a job or own property in the USA....otherwise your a nobody. Think about it....if 19 is a child and 26 your still on your parents insurance....YOU JUST A CHILD.
