Think about it...you are a legal ADULT at 18 years of age (and most people are physical adults by 14 or 15 years old...but we are talking legality).

So you are a fully endowed with your constitutional rights at the age of 18. Able to sign a contract, buy a home, etc.

And we have a nation full of ADULTS who can not legally buy a fucking beer? And now they won't be "allowed" to get a shotgun to protect their home?

I would say this is more bullshit and getting way too tricky.

If we are going down this road...then the legal age of an "adult" needs to be changed to 21.
No more sending 18, 19, and 20 year olds off to war and then telling them they can't even go to a bar on the weekends.
Buy a big dog or get a burglar alarm system. Both are better at protecting you than a gun.
