Should we raise the voting age to 21?

[Missourian]

If the government says you aren't old enough to buy tobacco, alcohol or guns...they are telling us people under 21 aren't mature enough to make good decisions...therefore...should we not also raise the voting age to 21?

But they can join the military at 17 and use guns to kill people.

The age for driving, military service, drinking, marriage and owning a firearm should be the age that you can run for Congress…

 

[Confederate Soldier]

I'd say absolutely. As a kid myself, I can tell you kids are fucking stupid. Let 'em wait.

age limits with the government should be an across the board thing,, that would include driving and military service,,

imagine being forced to serve and not being allowed to vote???

 

[flan327]

Yes

NO

ARE YOU OKAY?

 

[Devils_Advocate]

NO

ARE YOU OKAY?

Yes

And Yes I am and just saying Yes because you keep on writing No…

The age would be 25 if you need to know…

I can live with that.

 

[progressive hunter]

I can live with that.

I would withdraw driving and specify any right or responsibility as an american,,
driving is a privilege and controlled by states not the constitution,,

If a child can decide their gender without parental consent, they can own a gun.

If a child can have an abortion without parental consent, then they can own a gun.

 

[BluesLegend]

100's of thousands of 18 year olds have purchased firearms, and harmed nobody. Hence the stupidity of 21 will fix anything. Super rare is the demented brain that shoots up a school, those evil scum will find some other way to carry out their horror show no matter what so either focus on the real problem or stick your head in the sand thinking raising an age limit is going to do anything.

 

[LeftofLeft]

How do you tell an 18-20 year old that any crime they commit, they will be charged as an adult. They can voteYet they can’t buy a gun or a beer.

 

[Missourian]

Hell...should they be able to enter into a binding contract?

If their judgement is in question...the answer is no.

 

[1srelluc]

Hell most don't vote till they are well into their 20s anyway and even then it's only around 45%.

I bet it's much lower for the 18-21 age group.....Registered does not mean that they vote.

The voting age should be raised to 50.

 

[eagle1462010]

No. Old enough to go to war. Old enough to vote

I think 25 should be the minimum age for voting.
