I guess you don't understand that Ronster and I are both in favor of making policy changes that would make a great difference to this problem. I guess you also don't understand that you wouldn't be in favor of any of them.

I'm opposed to drafting people who can't vote.  Those two things should stay at 18.  But I'm flexible on all the other aspects of adulthood, between 18 and 21.

That you can be forced to die for your Country while that Country refuses you the rights of adulthood might be the dumbest thing you've ever supported.

You already said you're in favor of very harsh penalties for people found to still have guns when they shouldn't have them due to a previous conviction. The mass shootings we've seen though, the ones with more than 5 dead, almost all of them are done by people who were never convicted of anything. So no, it would not help. It might help reduce deaths at these gangland and domestic shootings that are more common, but, frankly we have already tried imprisoning our way out of those problems. We imprison a larger share of our population than any other country. Imprisoning more people is not the answer to anything as far as I'm concerned.

As for raising the age for certain things to 21, there can be exceptions for people who are actually drafted and serving.
