The idea for a drinking age came from the blue laws and for the same reason. So does the drinking age of 21 mean that people are somehow not mature until they're 21? Do tell! Then tell why people under 21 are allowed to own and carry firearms or smoke tobacco.
How about some HuffPost level of reporting? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/11/derrick-rose-gang-sign-ph_n_214590.html Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose moved quickly to try to tamp down a growing controversy over a photo circulating online of him flashing gang signs.
Fire arms like handguns are a minimum age of 21; which requires more attention. Hand guns are concealable; so more responsibility is needed to own a handgun. Smoking only hurts yourself. A smoker cannot effect heavy machinery that can kill others. And most states are now prohibiting smoke to be in areas that would effect non smokers. The alcohol and "blue law" theory must be proven with facts. Explain and provide links on how this "blue law" was stemmed to promote the "21 and over law" otherwise your comment is just here say. Strawman master still at work I see.
WTF do handguns require "more attention" than any other kind of gun? There were no drinking age laws before the end of prohibition. Do your own research about what prohibition was and why it was enacted and who was behind it.
I don't need to do research, since you made the claim; you must provide the evidence to support your claim. Take some of your own advice. http://smartgunlaws.org/minimum-age-to-purchase-possess-firearms-policy-summary/ Obviously they took the report that most gun related deaths were from ages of 21 and younger. Its much easier to shoot yourself or accidentally shoot others with a handgun. They are easier to load and easier to fire. Use some fucking common sense Denny! LMAO!
