Anyone who has brought up a teenager will tell you that at their worst they are a toxic mix of hormones, mood swings, vile outbursts and unpleasant odours.
But it passes, and its not personal.
A couple of years later all is well, you fix your relationship with them, and they become decent human beings again. Managing the worst years are tough, but you get there.
So do you really want hormone ridden modern teens shooting up the place because we cannot make laws that move with the times ?

I agree that a teenager is a dangerous person.
And what I am saying is this: How can you say an 18 year old is a legal adult...but then deny them their constitutional right to own a gun?
Or tell them that they can't buy a beer?
Either you ARE a legal Adult with full rights or you are not.
If they want to tell a full grown man at 18 that he can't do what a 21 year old can do...then change the legal age of an adult to 21.
Being 18 years old apparently means you are a second class citizen.
So if we are going to treat an 18, 19, or 20 year old man or woman like little kids...then make them "kids" legally too.
Raise the legal age of "adult" to 21.
I'm sure that soon enough you'll have to be 50 to buy a beer or a gun. And then the govt. will decide that 60 is too old and we will end up with a 10 year window to actually be adults. lol
