Do u believe an AR-15 or any semi-automatic weapon should be sold to an 18 year old child ?

Because when you are 18, your brain is not fully developed. The actual age of maturity is around 35. Sure you can fight in a war but I often ask myself should we allow a teen to fight in a war.
21 seems to be a more fitting age for this as it should be if you ask me. I mean you have to be that old to actually buy a drink in the US.
Do you believe that a person who is 18 years of age should be allowed to buy a semi-automatic
weapon.

I don't think the age is much the problem as it is the continued ignoring of warning signs and checking for them. from 18-118. Not just certain designs of rifles or shotguns either.
Side note: I also think 18 should be the legal age to drink.

@MethDozer You believe that the legal age for a person being allowed to purchase alcohol is 18. Why is that so.

@Zonuss That's not what I said. I said I believe it should be.

I think that's the age people should be full;y responsible for themselves and given freedoms. Nor do I think the increasing and prolonged infantilization of youth is helpful to society. Honestly I think the 21 age creates more problems with drinking than it solves.
Save that for another thread or PM, don't want to derail your thread topic.
