Yes, I know the words “progressive” and “logic” should never be in the same sentence much less the same headline. However, their confused rationality on what youth can handle at young ages is quite notable, especially given the current debate over gun control legislation.
As you already know, Democrats are trying to pass a slew of anti-gun measures. One of these would raise the age to own firearms from 18 to 21. This would ostensibly cut down on mass shootings since 18-year-olds are not mentally able to handle the responsibility of owning guns and raising the age would prevent them from carrying out assaults similar to what happened in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas.
