You are not familiar with the vernacular term 'mow people down'? How funny. Per Webster's dictionary:If a 19 year old bought an industrial lawn mower would he be able to "mow" people down?Comparing voting, the military, drugs, drinking, marriage, getting a loan, etc. to owning guns is a logical fallacy, a false equivalence. Only in owing a gun can a person go out and mow down dozens of people. None of those other things give a person easy access to a weapon that has only one purpose: to kill.18 for everythingI know this raises larger questions about the age of majority, but it seems that allowing teenagers to purchase firearms is a really bad idea.
