At the very least 18 year olds should not be able to buy assault rifles. There's no reason for it. A lot of these mass shootings are done by teenagers, many of them who bought the guns legally. The frontal lobes of the brain in males are usually not fully developed until around age 25, and that is the part of the brain responsible for foresight, planning, empathy, impulse control, etc.

Add in to the fact they have very little life experience, are immature, often have poor perspective on things, are hormonal and prone to blowing things out of proportion, and it's a recipe for disaster.

Bullshit. If you are old enough to vote... Drinking age should be 16 too, 18 maximum.

No. Sources of corruption should be kept away from the youth until they're much older than 18. This is why progressives target children with their filth.

The drinking age in Europe and the rest of the world is 16 or non-existant, has been that way for a long time.

Are the cultures in question comparable in your opinion? (when it comes to relevant variables regarding substance abuse, addiction, etc.?)

No, not even close. We would need to fix the cultural rot and separate from niggers before you could lower the drinking age.
