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.

Should they be allowed to drive, or vote, or enter into contracts? In some states you can still buy a drink at 18. You tell me. Perhaps we should restrict voting until after age 35? There are literally millions of mature law abiding 18 yrs olds out there who own and or have access to weapons, semi auto and others....who are fully functional adult members of our society.

@bowman81 No state allows under 21 buying of alcohol. Most states allow a parent or legal guardian to serve it to them but not in an establishment and a few allow it at an establishment. Either way thery cannot buy it themselves and must be served by the parent.
