Saw that and was thing how it integrates on some modern gun control discussion:
Once again this raised a question I've had for decades. How do we Define "Adult"? My default description is a person who is capable of informed consent, and has the rights and responsibilities as an autonomous person. Or more simply, a person who is not the dependent of or subordinate to the will of* another. My philosophy is that an adult, barring specific individual limitations**, should have freedoms equal to all other adults. People being equal under the law.
*Like with power of attorney. Some people are unable to manage their own affairs and have another person with a power to make decisions for them.
**Like being a convicted felon, a limitation placed by due process onto a person specifically because of evidence or actions. As opposed to a restriction placed on a person because they are a member of a class of people.
