There is a movement among some politicians to reduce the voting age from 18 to 16. Some municipalities have actually done this. I even read an editorial from a University of Kentucky law professor stating that students from Parkland High School show why this is a good idea. It doesn't matter that this students are being scripted, used as props, and are coached what to say.
In a free society, I think having immature, easily swayed young minds pull the voting lever is a recipe for disaster. As Michael Bane said the other day, think Lord of the Flies.
Yet these same politicians and pundits want to raise the age at which one can purchase any long arm to 21 years old.
You tell me which is more dangerous.
I know what I think.
