18+ is legally considered an adult, but I do agree that it’s bullshit to have the middle ground, I think they should be able to drink. Doesn’t change the fact that they’re legally considered adults.

Doesn’t change the fact that they’re still kids.

Probably a reason the limit is 21, yes? Perhaps something about still being a developing human being?

And you’re really gonna die on the hill of “we have no issue since only if you think of all teenagers as kids would this even be true”?

This is what I mean with the "always the same shitty propaganda, never any science.

So boring.

Teenagers are kids.

Like I said, unfortunately for you, we rational people have all the science backing us up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Those “teenagers” are selling heroin and crack in organized gangs (crips, bloods, piru, GD, sureños, etc) and shooting each other over it, especially in the cities the study took place in which are known for their gang and drug activity. Guess what, heroin is illegal for “children” to buy as well, but they get it just fine, that is the issue and that is why nobody takes that stupid study seriously.

Anyone familiar with the situation knows that study was bunk and had bad methodology, idk why you continue to shill for it but you do you lol.

Again, the same “talking points”.

At least Flat Earthers try to make their own science. You lazy gun nuts literally repeat three NRA talking points on repeat.

So for you, it’s acceptable if children die if they’re in their late teens and were involved with anything illegal.

That’s quite barbaric viewed from the rest of the world, really. Just like corporal punishment in general. But you also have the whole private prisons industry thing so… Ew.

“Our children are dying to gun massacres we could easily prevent but I like my toys and can’t think for myself so I’m gonna keep spreading the things I heard on NRA.tv
