Raising the age to purchase a gun to 21, why this specific age? It is already the legal age for drinking. Interesting! I have some relevant bullet points and questions.
• Why 21?
• Who determined this age, how, and why?
• Shouldn't we change the minimum age to be in the military also to 21?
• Shouldn't we change the age for voting also to 21?
• Why not make it age 25, instead of 21?
• Did you know the brain isn't fully developed until age 25?
"Neuroscientists are confirming what car rental places already figured out — the brain doesn't fully mature until age 25. Up until this age, the prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain that helps curb impulsive behavior — is not yet fully developed. Nov 8, 2017 (www.businessinsider.com)."
One could argue that Matthew McConaughey seems to have accidentally stumbled into the real darkness in our society. Of course, he isn't the one who suggested this first. He's just someone's messenger. In fact, the fact that he (a Hollywood celebrity) can be easily invited to speak in a White House press conference raises many more other questions. Regardless, I think hypocrisy seems to be the real malignancy and darkness in our society.

To add more, corruption and hypocrisy go hand and hand, and hand in hand.
