No you agree with me, 24 is the age you become an adult, so yes, 24 year olds are adults.

They are neurologically, which is where decision making takes place. Hey, you aren’t one of those science deniers are you?

Lol. I don’t deny you are right.
Only that your stance is wrong about the age of adulthood. Maturity has nothing to do with it.
Only 3 states have backward views on adulthood. Mississippi, Alabama and Nebraska. The other 47 have it right.
Allan
Maturity has nothing to do with when someone becomes an adult, disagree. Because, science.
Because, science.
Science is good for some things.
I mean some people become sexually mature before 24, Should we lower the age of consent to 12.
See how ridiculous that sounds.
Allan
Yes . 18 is a good age.
I don’t care what age is chosen for adulthood.
But whatever age that is should be the same for everything. Drinking, buying a gun, voting, and for being charged as an adult in crimes.
And smoking, too. Some states that is 21. Doesn’t make sense to smoke at all, but if you can drive to a bar with a concealed weapon, you should be able to light up.

Can we add having kids to this list? I hate seeing kids having kids.

Federal law is 21.

No, because making good choices in a sexual partner and having sex also requires a mature brain. Just because their bodies are ready doesn’t mean their brains are.

So the age of consent should be 24 too.
Lol.

From a scientific perspective, yes.
From a scientific perspective, yes.
But from a practical one, no.

Not much more so than 16 or 18. I was active at 12. There is a difference between an aspirational societal standard and complete conformity. From a practical standpoint, no marriage or children until 24. Not much way to police individual sexual encounters fairly or widely.

That’s fairly easy. Pregnant at 15. Imprison them. That will show em.

Didn’t know that, thought it was state to state. Doesn’t make much sense.

Adoption, to a pair of responsible adults.
GWH:So. Old enough to serve, old enough to purchase a handgun?
I think any age should be able to buy a gun. No 2A infringement, right?
I do think actually think 16 should be fair game. If you can drive a car… you can own a gun.
Sounds fair. I bought my first gun when I was 16.
