Generalities regarding the responsibility of 18 year olds are pointless here. The Second Amendment never said "If they're a responsible sorta guy who is of age to drink a beer." You'd better dump that mentality, lest someone questions whether or not you're "responsible and mature" enough to vote next election. A vote is arguably more dangerous, given its potential to endow the wrong man with the powers of Commander in Chief, and the chance to annihilate Eastern civilization. If you're ok with 18 year olds voting, best get on board with their packing heat. Nobody will destroy America with a handgun; Elections on the other hand...
A free, adult citizen of the USA is entitled to ALL of their constitutional rights. Whether or not it upsets your delicate sensibilities or makes you nervous is your problem.
By the way, the last shooting at my base took place in family housing, and the perp was over 21.
Finally, no I can't back this legislation. I'm already uncomfortable with the legal priveleges afforded to Police...I won't become the next priveleged class.
