[QUOTE="Pokinfun, post: 3085964, member: 28113"] I'm good with that, as a teacher I understand that brain development is not complete at 18. I was just pointing out that Rights are not absolute, god given, even though I like to think they are, too. Just the fact that we set an age where you get your Rights disproves the absolute argument. As an old man that works daily with 18 year olds, I am not sure they should be allowed to drive, much less own a gun or vote. We have created a society that prevents most of them from growing up until later in life. However, at 17 I was a high school graduate and in the Army Reserves. At 18 my wife was still in high school when we got married, no she was not pregnant. At 19 I was on a team that assembled and fired tactical nuclear bombs. At 20, I was a section chief firing a 155mm howitzer. I went to war with several guy that were 18-21, which were every bit as responsible and brave as I was. So, I am not sure what the correct age is, but at some point I would lay money that says assault weapons will be the same at pistols. My wife tells me that I cannot use myself as a yard stick to measure other men against, but I am not sure she is talking about Rights because I am rather impressive. [/QUOTE]
