I agree. If the minimum age for firearms purchases is to be raised to 21 then the voting age and the draft age need to be raised to 21.

They should not be able to vote until they’re working for a living and actually paying taxes.

No driver’s license until you are 21 and pass a drug test.

Absolutely 100% agree with this and have said it to people of all political stripes, oftentimes being met with vitriol.
These kids need to understand what it means to play political hardball. Enough is enough.

YES! I’ve been saying this since it started. If someone is not responsible enough to own a gun they certainly shouldn’t be allowed to help form a government.

Good point, but I’d rather not.
I still have a 16-year-old at home and I love him more than anything, but I do not want him living in my house for another ten years...

I dare say voting is more deadly than purchasing firearms, just ask a Venezuelan.

“Or drive, or join the military”
I’d exclude Military because personal responsibility and knowledge of how our society works is less important for a soldier. Soldiers follow orders and do specific jobs. The responsible ones will become officers.
To: davikkm
No guns? OK, no credit cards, no debt, no voting, no alcohol, no participation in the military.
