You don't go to bed one night a pimply-faced fourteen-year-old with no concerns beyond trying to figure out how to talk to the cute girl in homeroom and then wake up the next day an adult with a job, a mortgage, a wife, and kids. Responsibility typically comes in stages.
It also comes at different rates for different people; does it really make sense to say that on day 6569 of your life you're not old enough to do anything without your parents' consent, but on day 6571 you can buy a pack of cigarettes and a rifle, regardless of whether you're the kid with a perfect SAT score and your own successful business or the one with a successful...undocumented pharmaceutical business?
Like I tell people who question whether 21-year-olds are mature enough to carry handguns, we have to draw the line somewhere.

Let's draw it at the same place we draw it with buying one of these: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/52780-55.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I stand by my assertion that todays kids in general (with exception to RagRiz) are more immature than yesteryears, however we must take the good with the bad and grant them full adulthood in all apsects. Ragriz point about their beliefs can likely be tied to the crap Hollywood spews out. I meet plenty of adults that want to "register" their guns.

C'mon, my names not that hard, Is it? But yes, I've been doing my little part to try and get every person I know to understand what the laws are, and what they can do, to the best of my ability. Our side can only benefit from an educated populous, while the other side would rather have the "useful idiots", as referred to by either Stalin or Marx, can't remember (someone check this if you could).

During WW II, it was 18, 19 and 20 year olds who piloted the U.S. bombers and fighters in our war against the Boche. If the 18, 19-20 year olds of yesteryear could pilot a B-17 full of bombs to their target and back while fighting off hordes of Luftwaffe ME-109's; surely to goodness, today's 18, 19-20 year olds are responsible and mature enough to walk/ride around with a loaded handgun containing a dozen or so cartridges?
Have you met todays kids? in general they have been turned into spoiled helpless idiots by the govt and school system. The kids of WW2 were a lot more mature than todays batch. I have a good example here at the house. 13 yr old girl in advanced classes but cant do basic life stuff and falls up the stairs! I do agree that the law needs to draw a line in the sand on the age of majority, 18 or 21. I prefer 18 for previous posters reasons but still think they may not be ready in general.

As someone from this age group I am too horrified by the irresponcibility of those my age, however, these are the same people that think that concealed carry is illegal, and that you have to have a permit to buy (or even shoot) a firearm, so something tells me that not too many of them will even know it exists until they enter the "Razgriz School for Firearms Training)
