      I’m perplexed by that. Aren’t 18 year olds considered adults in the US? 19 is such a strange choice.

        18-20 is a weird age bracket where you can buy smokes, are eligible to vote and for military service, but can’t buy alcohol.

        Edit Forgot! You can buy an AR-15, but not a 6 shot revolver.

          I think smoking age is 21 these days, but yeah, it’s a strange choice.
