#1 Your national government arms 18, 19, 20 year olds with semi-automatic weapons (even fully automatic weapons, even very large caliber weapons). What part of 'Militia' don't you grasp.

#2 The age limit was probably a compromise made to bring some squishes along when the legislation was passed. Now that SCOTUS has eviscerated all the micromanagement of the 2A (in legal principle, anyway) what the squishes think or want is irrelevant.

#3 If a person is Old enough to:
Vote, Marry, decide their gender, get an abortion, Serve in the Military,be drafted in time of war, enter into legal contracts for loans, obtain a CDL, and is considered an Adult. Why 21 for a pistol?

Either void such contradicting laws or raise the age of Adulthood uniformly to 21.

Think about it, a more matured 21-year-old voter/Solider/Husband/Wife and etc...

#4 You need to be 21 to legally drink in America, but at 18 you can join the military, be charged as an adult with a crime, be sentenced to death and executed.

But you can't defend yourself? Yeah, that makes no sense.

Oh, if you are an illegal alien, you can claim to be a minor even if you are 30+ years old, and the authorities will go along with that.

The "rules" are so far out all over the map as to be a sick joke.
