Although no absolute, under-21 firearm ban was at issue in those decisions, an advocate for such a ban should avail herself of the premises underlying their holdings. The decisions present historical evidence that, according to the Framers, only those with adequate “civic virtue” are worthy of wielding lethal weapons, and one’s capacity for virtue grows with age. The decisions also translate the Framers’ intuition into modern terms of criminology and neuropsychology, presenting evidence that 18-to-20-year-olds are disproportionately responsible for violent gun crimes, and that their minds house immature impulse-control structures. |

| If you can't be trusted with a firearm, then you can't be trusted with a vote, with a car, or alone with another person. |

"unlicensed dealer"
There is no such thing. Per federal law, all dealers must be licensed.
This dubious term exists for one reason only; to obfuscate the truthful term "private seller". |

| Sadly the article's 2nd reference is from the "Giffords L. Ctr. to Prevent Gun Violence". I cannot think of a better way to destroy the credibility of the article than to use "data" from a blatantly anti-gun organization. |
