It Makes No Sense.

It makes no sense that it’s illegal for someone under 21 to buy a handgun or even a beer, yet can legally buy an assault weapon. My amendment is a commonsense fix with broad public support that should receive bipartisan backing and I hope that it’s allowed a vote. - Sen Feinstein

It makes no sense that someone under the age of 21 can serve in the military and vote but can't buy a handgun, drink beer, or smoke tobacco. You are an adult at eighteen or you are not, and you can do much more damage with an uninformed vote than with beer, tobacco, or a gun. Case in point: Congress on any day that ends in Y.
