81. Concrete limits based on what?
The minimum drinking age of 18 is based on scientific observations of human development. The average corpus callosum doesn't fully mature until the age of 18, and the corpus callosum is what connects the two hemispheres of your brain and plays a huge role in facilitating judgement and critical thinking. At least we have science on our side - and the fact that there is no Constitutional right to consume alcohol, especially if you are not yet mature enough physically and mentally to do so.

As for why I have a 30-round magazine, I do not have to justify my reason for owning one to you or anyone else. Isn't the Constitution wonderful?
