Those 18 year old adults will just go down the street to a local gun shop.
If 18-20 is just Kids then we need to raise the voting age to 21 also.
Old enough to be held responsible as an adult, but not old enough to enjoy the privs of an adult.
Now, of course, the former is a matter with the state and the latter is a matter with private industry, but isn't this a great message we send the young. No wonder they are confused, feeling disenfranchised.
Personally, I think it is wrong that we age discriminate. Personally, I think we should set the age of being an adult and leave it there, not mess around for the convenience of the state, for businesses.
So say it was 21, then:
Below 21, one....
is ALWAYS tried as a child
does not pay taxes
cannot be in the military
crimes against them are crimes against children
etc, etc, etc..
Oh, ok. I thought it was 21. Let's use alcohol instead then.
What if someone owns a liquor store and decides on their own that they believe you are not mature enough to drink until you are 25, so ban 21-24 yr olds from purchasing in their liquor store?

They can do that, they are a private business. So you go down the street two blocks and buy your bottle of Mad Dog and walk away a happy camper. The end.

Might as well keep people in high school until they're 21

Don't think you can do that, liquor sale laws are state laws, not federal anyway.
Hmm- wonder if all those folks that said they won't shop at Dicks will do the same thing here...
Hmmmm.
NO WAY! Walmart is the Mecca of Trumplandia. Where else would they get all their Made in China MAGA hats and Malaysian made American Flags?
They may grandstand about it on the forums, but I guarantee the primary Walmart Demographic won't change much as a result of this.
