If you are 18, 19, or 20 years old, you are disadvantaged in so many ways - no alcohol, no handguns - even though you can vote and, in times of national crisis, will be forced to serve in the military. I work with college kids, training them to shoot, and many of them are just marking time, waiting for their 21st birthday, so they can buy that handgun they've been eyeing and apply for their first CCW. Heck, I've known kids who did BOTH first thing on their B-day. These are good kids, not gangsters.
If I am understanding this correctly, everyone (17-45) is a member of the militia?
ReplyDeleteThe implications are....interesting.
