In today’s world I can see that being true but in the past many teenagers were out on their own living and working just like an adult.

But we need to raise the age of gun purchases to 21 because of immaturity!!

Not surprised: The last I had read was the brain was not fully developed until about age 26.

Some people's brain's won't fully mature until they're 126 years old!!!

There’s still time.

You're funny. At age 81 I think I'll pass.

Lets get this straight:

Brains don't mature until 30 (used to be 25)

Nanny staters used this research to raise drinking age.

Nanny staters are citing this research to raise age to buy long guns.

The same nanny staters are pushing for voting age at 16.

So: a child is old enough to vote at 16, but can't drink or buy a gun until 21.

I suppose it just depends upon what one "likes"

To the nanny staters it does not have to make sense, be logical or sane, just based upon what they want.

And they want to rule the world.
