I think that anyone who goes to war should be considered an adult with
regards to all liberties.

But I wouldn't go so far as to say that every 18 year old should get the
same accommodation as those who have gone to war.

That said, I have a very little use with any gun law. Laws concerning
murder and assault pretty much cover and "gun" concerns I might have.
Banning objects to control behavior has not, and will never, work.
