Perhaps you would offer an explanation about how someone could be a convicted felon, as in: committed a felony (probably more than one crime), was arrested, went through the pre-trial process, the trial process with subsequent conviction and incarceration then serve time and be released all before their 21st birthday.

Either the under 21s mentioned in the article don't have disqualifying histories -- in which case even a licensed dealer would have no reason to deny the sale -- or they already are established criminals who have the ability to skirt laws at will and this is simply more Controller Theater.
