Hilarious.
This is right up there with all the state legislatures raising the legal age of alcohol consumption to 21 years of age in order to maintain the flow of cash from the federal government to the states. So if you are 18-20 years of age you are a "semi-citizen", with the right to vote, pay taxes, fight and die for your country, die for your crimes, serve on a jury and decide that someone else should either die for their crimes or have their liberty deprived, but you cannot legally purchase a beer, and in many states you cannot either purchase or carry a handgun and the ammunition for the handgun.
Ain't liberty grand?
When someone decides that it is "reasonable" to impose major restrictions of the rights of those over 65 year of age because it is really impossible to determine whether their mental faculties are comparable to someone 21 years of age then Brady laws will then begin to make sense. After all, none of us are responsible enough to handle one of those gun things. Someone might get hurt - the children!
