Rule 1: Don't talk politics on a good technical site:
Rule 2: If you do, try this. 18 for driving, drinking, smoking, joining the military, voting; 16 for age of consent. (Pretty much is that anyway).
Well, since you violated Rule # 1, I'd like to point out that you forgot about the attempts to screw young adult U.S. citizens out of their right to purchase a firearm for hunting or self-defense. Some of those attempts are coming from young adults who are acting on pure emotion.
And I'd like to remind you that it is only because of pro-gun politics that we even have the right to own, use, and even discuss the technical aspects of our guns. You may not care for politics here, but ownership of guns and preservation of the 2nd Amendment are inseparable. And it is politicians who work to either preserve out gun rights... or take them away.
Or maybe you feel the time for discussion is not until the anti-gunners succeed in banning them???
