I think you can buy rifles even younger in some states
Yeah, drinking age should probably be 18.
You can join the army at 18. Drinking agree should be lower.
Similar to Europe
Definitely agreed. So hard to hook up with coeds here vs in Eu
You can buy AR15 at 18 but not hand gun.
For real?
It’s more complicated than you are making it out to be, but since the right to self defense (with guns) is protected, yeah, in general it’s easier for govt to restrict other things that don’t have their own protection.
You don't need AR15 for self defense
Yes. It’s silly. Drinking age used to vary by state. I remember my parents telling me stories about how they were do beer runs across the state border because the drinking age in the neighboring state was 19. The drinking age needs to go down. The nanny state doesn’t really know better. Guns is a totally orthogonal topic. We couldn’t even ban people on the terror watch list from buying a gun, or people who are mentally impaired and living on the tax payer dole from getting the gun (freshly repealed rule). We’re better than this. And we should do better.
Sorry was a typo
