If 18yo can kill people in the name of freedom, they should be able to buy a gun legally.

Although I agree with this for the most part as most 18 year old’s have the maturity to understand the consequences for their actions there are some that still don’t and sadly no matter how old some people get never will.
My opinion……

Yeah, making the arbitrary age of 21 pointless.

If you can sign a contract or be charged as an adult you should not be denied constitutional rights.

Age doesn't necessarily equate to maturity. I don't disagree with the statement above, but if an 18 year old can join the military, receive firearms training that most will never experience, then be expected to defend America (and other countries)...

If they never will, they never will. You could raise the age to 90 and there will still be people that don't understand the consequences of their actions.
