If congress in their intuitive wisdom decided to make 18 year olds adults in 1965 (26th Amendment) how can they say that they cannot purchase a handgun? I feel the Amendment was to garner political votes but if an 18 year old can join the military and fight and die in some cases for this country then they should at least be able to purchase a pistol. I don't agree with what congress did because many 18 year olds are not adult enough or mature and make some stupid decisions which gives them a criminal record the rest of their lives. Before the change, they could make a dumb mistake and it would be considered as a juvenile I believe and expunged from their record once reaching the age of maturity at age 21.
