Amy Klobuchar really thought this was a good argument. Like, she even brought out the CAPS to demand we CHANGE THE LAW.
Fine, is she insists, they should drop the legal drinking age.
OH WAIT, that’s not what she’s arguing.
*snort*
If 18-year-olds can’t buy alcohol they sure shouldn’t be able to buy an AK-47. CHANGE THE LAW.

Using the ability to buy alcohol to somehow prove an 18-year-old, who can vote and join the military, shouldn’t be able to buy a firearm did NOT work out the way she thought it would.
Like, at all.
You do realize that states can enact a drinking age of 18, right?
There is no right to drink alcohol.
Now, if an 18 year old can be sent off to war, they should be able to buy a firearm.
Because there IS a right to keep and bear arms

Oh yeah, there is no right to buy alcohol.
But there is a right to bear arms.
Crazy stuff.
If a 5 year old can choose their own gender, an 18 year old can buy a gun.

Seems fair.
If 18 year olds cannot buy firearms, they shouldn't be able to vote or serve in the military either.

By that logic… if 18 year olds can't buy a firearm, then they shouldn't be allowed to serve in the military either…

Sensing a theme here.
I agree, let them buy alcohol.

Ok, two themes.
You’re right. Lower the drinking age!

But they can go to war? Fix the security problems in school. But that might actually work so forget it right!

It’s far more fun to preen on for political cred than to actually get something done.
Weird argument to change the drinking age to 18. But we’re here for it.

Aren’t we all?
HA HA HA HA HA
I didn't know alcohol was a Constitutional right. https://t.co/NWuo3MDDs3

Yes, citizens of 18 should be able to buy beer. https://t.co/rJ6QvWlLTM

So no military. No voting? https://t.co/lH8gn6138n

Only fair.
What age are the children you send, with guns, to fight your wars? 😂 🤣 😂 https://t.co/ZMbixKttGQ

The same people saying that 18 yos are too young to:
purchase a firearm
buy tobacco and alcohol
get student loans
are the same ones who say:
16 yos should vote
pre-teens should can chop off their penises and breasts.
And they can't see why they're not taken seriously. https://t.co/onWPOytX2c

Yeah, this didn’t go over so hot for the woman known for throwing three-ring binders at her staff and eating a Caesar Salad with a comb.
