[quote]I learned in my English class last year that brain development actually stops at around 25, not 21. I figured that their brains should be "fully developed" before they can buy a gun.[/quote]Why shouldn't purchasing alcohol, purchasing tobacco, purchasing prescribed antidepressants, purchasing a vehicle, purchasing a home, purchasing any insurance, acquiring a driver's licence, [b]the right to vote[/b], military enlistment, etc. also require an individual to be at least 25?

Because the us is a -blam!-ing shithole of drug and alcohol addicts and the government doesn’t wanna upset them.

I think that all of those should be as well.

[quote]I think that all of those should be as well.[/quote]Logical consistency. I like it. Would you agree people cannot be productive until they've reached the state of complete brain development?
-
No, they can still be productive, it's just a lot to deal with when their brains haven't fully developed.

They have a lot of responsibility with those things that they experience before their brains are fully developed.

[quote]They have a lot of responsibility with those things that they experience before their brains are fully developed.[/quote]Okay. Why should anyone under 25 be allowed to take tens, even hundreds, of thousands of dollars in loans to acquire a post-secondary education? Would you consider that debt to be too much responsibility to have before having a fully developed brain? There is also the question of parenthood. Should parental rights be taken from those under 25? How about the usage of this very forum? Is the responsible usage of social platforms too much for those without a fully developed brain?
