I say if they want to raise the age to purchase a long gun to 21, then they should also raise the "adult" age of everything else to 21.
VOTING, unrestricted driver's license (or whatever they call a "regular", non-minor DL), cigarettes, alchohol (if it's not already), weed (where applicable), leases, contracts, etc. ... Hit them where it hurts... In their feels.
Practical? Not at all. Likely? Never, but maybe the proposal of it might open up the eyes of enough of them to make them think just a little bit.
How would the country respond to military at age 21? That's an "adult" thing as well.
And makes about as much sense as the rest of my list, but doesnt fit. Just how many of those sjw, snowflake teens do you think are planning on joing the military?Quote:

Right, but part of making a point is really making a point. All the people that WANT to go into the military would throw a fit, as well as the military, which in my eyes, would be an effective way to prevent such a silly change.
My wife was saying the same things about the military last night. Then we decided that you can join the military at 18 but then you're allowed to do all those other age restricted things too. Join up and now you can buy booze, guns, rent a car .... what ever.
Please feel free to compile a list of every other adult thing I may have missed, so the point can be as sharp as possible.

I was really wondering how the nation would react to military service at 21 being on the table, than trying to bust your balls for your list of adulting. I guess since neither one is likely to happen, it doesn't really matter. But no sex until 21, no rated R movies, and Federally controlled child friendly internet access would get some attention. That's all just straight up fantasy land though. I'd say no work until 21 either, just to get parents attention of what it really means to treat people like kids until they are 21.
Military age change would make sense with this proposal, since the military will likely be handing these under-21 "children" an actual assault rifle, rather than just a scary looking ar-15.
The dems through the media trick the RNC into doing their dirty work for them. Every time the Dems have passed gun control they lose seats and power in government. So the Dems can get what they want and watch the Republicans lose their seats in the next election.
