“While it is entirely reasonable to treat children and adults differently, and for laws to reflect this basic division, questions of precisely when children should become adults have eluded rationality.
In Argentina, where the legal age to vote is 16, young people may join the military at age 18, but had to wait till 21 to own a gun. Until Argentine president Javier Milei’s reduced the minimum age to purchase and carry a firearm to 18, a step towards greater consistency. But that is not how the culturally dominant left-wing media and intelligentsia see it.” (01/28/25)
