Also note that there's a documented increased risk of dying when you're in the military, regardless of whether you're actively being shot at.
Yeah, unless you change the mandatory draft registration age to the voting age, I'm not buying this.
And good luck selling this to the military.
P.S. There's no minimum age to purchase guns in a lot of States btw.

The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?

Re: Not a bad idea
Yeah, I know you're probably being sarcastic and using automatic righty triggers to make a point, but neither of the "25 year old" arbitrary minimum ages would make logical sense.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 5:32 pmWhile they're at it they should raise the age to buy a gun to 25.saltydog wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 4:48 pmSomeone found the motive here.

P.S. Our guns are sacred under the 2nd, but the right to vote isn't sacred. Ignore all the rest of that constitution!
P.P.S. It would make much more sense to ban guns entirely, along with not allowing "those kinds of people" to vote!

Re: Not a bad idea
What's the legal age to own a gun in Europe?

I’d just say you have to file a tax return and pay something.
