IMO anyone who buys a fire arm should be required to do a course of gun safety and maintenance and have certificate of competence before taking possession of firearm. Ex military and police would only need to take a practical test.
In Australia, the driving age is 16. Once they get a licence here, a person is required to show P (probationary) plates for 2 years. The person may not exceed 80km/hour, (49 mph) period. The person is allowed a blood alcohol limit of 0.00. Above that is an automatic loss of licence.
I think those rules are an excellent start. I would like to see the driving age to 18 and having completed an advances driving course mandatory.
Don't know what it's like in the US. Here, car insurance for people between 18-25 is hideously expensive. Probably because that age group is the most likely to be involved in a car accident .
My age group is the least likely to be involved in a traffic accident. However, I think the elderly may cause accidents due to over caution or in attention.
Where I'm from, young people just put the car in their older relative's name. Solves insurance being too expensive.
It' s like calling a Corvette a 2 door Chevy coupe.
You get away with it until you have an accident - then you are fucked....
