Reports suggest he had been previously arrested as a minor for planning a crime. Unfortunately a minors records are usually sealed. If he had to wait until 21 he would have a record that can be looked into. Either that make a minors arrest record available for background checks.
The age of license (21 years old) prohibits children from purchasing alcohol. I believe the same can be applied to the purchase of firearms.

Ahh..... But you forget, the use of Alcohol is not a Constitutional right. There is a big difference.
As I understand it starting in June 2022, background checks do include Juvenile records, at least for 18-21 year-olds.
