My 2 cents worth.
My son turned 16 last month and obtained a learners drivers licence and a firearms licence.
Both were relatively easy to get. He had more vetting for his FAL than the drivers.
He is more likely to injure or kill someone when using his drivers licence than his firearms licence.
It is the misuse of vehicle or firearm that will kill regardless of the licence status of the user.
I don't think raising the age for either licence would achieve any meaningful change.
