age restriction does not make sense at all. There’s the military, and there’s voting. If you are of age to do those, you are of age to own a gun...period

I disagree. The mental capacity necessary to be in the military vs drink, own a gun and vote are quite different. But that’s just my opinion.

If you read the article, “Understanding the Teen Brain” from the University of Rochester Medical Center (cited above), you might see the merit in young soldiers but restricting the electorate to citizens over 25. The same reasoning might apply to unsupervised gun ownership, although I was given the first gun of my own, an Iver Johnson 410 and a box of shells, when I was ten.
