If it were some kind of new law, a person could argue that it hasn't had the chance to do what they say it does. But since the law is from 1968, their own argument that 18-20-year-old criminals get guns too easily doubles as an admission that the law has not worked for decades

1820 year old criminals have terrorized us with firearms for too long! something has to be done about these ageless beings and the crimes they've been getting away with for millenia

Technically I should have done it this way: 18- to 20-year-old

How do you like that suspended hyphenation, kinda fancy right

It is worth noting that the law just prevents an eighteen year old from buying a gun. It does nothing to outlaw owning a gun.

i'm more concerned about 18-20 year olds - the state isn't doing enough to protect the rights of -15 month olds

if there's only 18-20 of these year-olds doing all the crime, can't we just arrest them? they're just babies

Very short, but very interesting take on Wokeness.

I think wokeness also wants to fade into the background eventually, it just sees it as a long road that isn't being traversed quickly enough if equality just hangs out as a principle that everyone mostly treats as someone else's problem

There's also the cognitive dissonance of wanting equality while worshiping celebrity

To be clear I have never been a fan of Britney Spears music (her music videos on the other hand...), I am onboard for #freebritney though.

The entire idea of her conservatorship is deeply off putting and quite frankly loathsome to someone who values individual autonomy. Everyone has an inherent right to agency, and stripping it from someone should only occur in the most extreme of circumstances and as a last resort.

I was probably just a little bit too old for her music (that said, she's only 6 years younger than me). My tastes were pretty well set by the time she came along. I blame the Black Crowes.

Yes, he can technically feed himself, but he would eat Popsicles and instant waffles until he died of scurvy, if left to his own devices.

There’s a small group of Very Online Left writers I regularly read to kept abreast of cutting edge progressive thought. Elie Mystal is one of those writers.

It’s kind of a shame though. He’s a decent writer and he understands the law. Unfortunately he’s let himself be twisted by rage. :(
