    That’s why some kind of competency test would be better. And some arbitrary limit just based on a number would be very hard to reverse/update later.

      Not really. It would just require another vote. Laws get removed and updated all the time. Recently there have been about a dozen states lowering age requirements for having a job, same with permitless concealed carry in 25 states.

      If anything, it’s way too easy to remove these laws made to protect people.
