When is a person an adult? 16, 18, 21, 25?

the 19th and 26th Amendments were ratified.
In both cases, various states had conflicting definitions of the issues addressed in the respective amendments.
These 2 amendments also indicate that politicians (and hell, a lot of people) are incapable of looking down the road. They would rather treat symptoms vs. curing the underlying disease.

"police only" exemption from the law. Lowering the age to 18 (which several states have as their minimum for long arms) removes that provision pretty much automatically.
