        What's the problem with having adolescents vote? After all, they can change their sex gender whatever right goddamn word is.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            It’s a reasonable framework to lower the voting age and raise the gun buying age. The impact of an individual vote is, in almost all circumstances, not as consequential as the firing of a gun in uncontrolled/unsupervised environment. An 18-year old, even when rash, simply cannot do as much damage with a vote than with a gun. From that perspective, it is quite reasonable to set the voting age lower than gun ownership age.

                  What is your preferred voting age Ax, and how do you arrive at that number?
