    I have read that those studying the human brain generally agree that humans are not fully developed, mentally, until age 26.

    Therefore, wouldn't it seem appropriate that no action which could affect society as a whole should be permitted of anyone under the age of 26?

    Driver's licenses, conferring of degrees, marriage licenses, gun purchase permits, signing up for military service, et cetera.

    This would relieve prison crowding, since crime committed by anyone under 26 would be excused for immaturity.
    I've argued that car rental companies are on to something. There's a scientific justification for restricting the rights of young adults until 25. If we want to play those games. Let's stop cherry picking.

    Agree.

    Yet, I struggle reconciling that with our sons taking up arms to defend our country in harms way at the age of 18. Truly a philosophical dilemma.

    Voting age now is already six, at least among some segments of our population.

    How about, if you sign up for the military, you get a 7 year advance on your rights.

    How about the same age for military service, driving, voting, drinking, marriage, and every other stupid law that discriminates because of age.

    A lot of voters already have the mentality of a six year old. How do you think we got stuck with Wolf for a second term and his anti gun fat sloppy lt Gov. This level of mentality also gave us Cortez in the house, in addition the house of rep now under commie control. To make matters worse, one of the senators that make up the GOP's 3 vote majority in the Senate is Mitt Romney. Only a 6 year old brain could have accomplish the aforementioned.

    I agree no gun purchases until 26.

    There should be some sort of voucher system where you can get 1 free gun every 3-4 months or so between 13 and 25 but after 26 you have to buy the guns you want.
    Let's not forget there are still species of tropical penguins living in the Galapagos.
