The discussion about gun loopholes got me to thinking about how inconsistent laws are. That led me to this...
An 18-year old is old enough to vote on laws concerning the legal drinking age, but is not old enough to drink.
An 18-year old is old enough to join the military and carry numerous weapons including a handgun...but an 18-year old is not legally old enough to buy a handgun.
The US tax code says that a 17-year old can no longer be claimed as a dependant...but under Obamacare health insurance companies must cover a child that is as old as 26 years old as long as the child does not have a job that offers them coverage.
Just some food for thought...
