If the Court agrees to take up one or all of these [minimum age] cases, it could mean a final answer on the issue at hand: At what age does the Second Amendment apply? Of course, there’s another question that goes right along with it: When does a child become an adult? The consensus in America seems to be that there are just some things you can’t do until adulthood – but the age is inconsistent and has become something of a moving target depending on both the issue at hand and the political viewpoint of the person being asked. For the progressive left, it seems the age to buy a firearm should be higher and the age to vote lower: 21 for the former and 16 for the latter.
Considering 18- to 20-year-olds, two questions must be asked to arrive at a moral and logical – if not constitutional – answer. First, if they’re legally and socially old enough to buy a house, get married, and have children, should people in that age range not be allowed to go adequately armed to defend themselves and their families?
Second, if people in this age range are not, for some reason, competent enough to own a firearm, what makes them competent enough to be responsible for the lives of their children, who are, at least for a while, 100% dependent upon them for survival? Why are they considered mature enough to vote – a task that regularly affects the entire populace? Why should they be allowed to enlist and be handed a weapon and trained to kill with it in war – or, for that matter, to be sent off to war to kill or be killed?
What makes an 18- to 20-year-old less capable and competent as a gun owner than a 21-year-old, and why doesn’t that apply across the board for any potentially dangerous adult rights, responsibilities, or liabilities?
— James Fite in Supreme Court May Consider the Age-Old Second Amendment Question
Awww…the heck with it. Let’s just change the right to vote and right to exercise the first amendment age to age 21 and above, but just for anti-gun and ‘progressive’ and LGBTQ + and see how they like it.
Que Mala was just saying they should lower the voting age to 16 while she was on her book tour.
Leftists and logic are antithetical.
Trust the science yet chromosomes aren’t real.
Gender is just a social construct yet one can be born in the wrong body.
Subsidizing unaffordable things makes them more affordable.
Increasing everyones pay an arbitrary amount won’t result in kind price increases on goods.
Halting drilling, refining, exploring and transporting oil is not responsible for increasing oil costs.
Inviting tens of millions of randos into the country within the span of a few years does not tax our infrastructure, strain resource availability or contribute to crime.
And on and on and on….
I do however enjoy this tacit admission that stupid children are the lefts greatest voting block. Although weren’t they recently whining that the younger gens have been brainwashed by right wing media and no longer support their brand of destructive globalist clowning?
It can be hard to keep track of their nonsense.
Yes it is difficult to keep track of! One must also have patience. For example, now we may be entering an ice age. Additionally, a well developed sense of humor.
3: What excuse will the court invent to sidestep how it has repeatedly held that the rights of minors are protected by the First Amendment, and that the bulk of the Continental Army were teenagers, but deny the same natural rights to these under 18.
The first gun I ever had that I could call my own was a gift from my parents, a .22. I was 6 years old. I still have it.
There was access to guns in my family, parents, grand parents, aunts, uncles, all had guns. But this was the first one I could call mine. Most of the kids my age in the area had their own .22’s, not just the boys but girls too.
I was raised with guns, my wife was too.
Our family has always been a gun family. Some of my ancestors who fought in the revolutionary war, they used firearms at very early ages too as young as 4-5 years old. It’s been a thing in our family for literally generations to learn about and use firearms starting at early ages. My nephews and neices started at age 4. My wife started at age 4 as did her siblings.
The first gun I ever pulled the trigger on was my dad’s shotgun, I was just barely 4 years old. The watermelon did not survive. My brother and sister also started at age 4.
My mom ran classes teaching women to shoot. It actually saved lives and fought back against and defeated racism and oppression (in the form of the local sheriff). And some of those women later after being trained had to actually defend them selves against a deadly threat that would have killed them had they not been armed and knew how to use it.
Firearms saved my wife and me from certain death.
This would drive the anti-gun people today nuts, right over the edge. They would probably need to be institutionalized in padded rooms.
.40 caL,
Well, you beat me by a year. My dad gave me my first at 7 (a J.C. Higgins, single-shot, bolt-action, .22). Many a squirrel and rabbit met it’s end from that little rifle. And, yes, while schools back in the day did used to teach firearms safety courses, my first years, I learned from my dad and my uncles (that’s how I know not to teach family members a difficult subject like firearm safety).
It was also an activity we could share. I remember hunting feral hogs in Tejas with my dad and my uncles when I was 12. Sitting around the campfire, waiting for the hogs to show up, was a true bonding experience. As we’ve discussed, I wouldn’t trust the current schools to teach my kids or grandkids knitting, let alone firearm safety.

The Planned Parenthood Abortion Shooting No One Expected.
(Colion) “A pro-life activist stood outside a Planned Parenthood doing what he does every week — holding a sign, filming, talking. Then a man walked straight up on him…
hands buried in his pockets…
closing distance…
ignoring every warning sign.
The activist backed up. He tried to create space. He didn’t want a fight. But the other guy kept coming.
So he pepper-sprayed him.
And instead of stopping… the man chased him. Tackled him. Fought him.
Fought bystanders trying to pull him off.
Came at him AGAIN.
And that’s when the gunshot happened.
One second it was an argument — the next, it was a life-or-death decision caught on camera.
This is the side of self-defense people never talk about:
the fear, the chaos, the split-second where hesitation gets you hurt.
In this breakdown, I show you exactly what happened outside Planned Parenthood, why the aggressor’s behavior matters, how South Carolina’s Stand-Your-Ground law applies, and why self-defense is ALWAYS messy — before and after the shot.”

First, are they old enough to legally be drafted, have an actual assault rifle, not a semi auto look alike, shoved in their hands and be dropped in a war zone with rules of engagement written by some jackwad who’s entire military experience consists of smoking dope at a peace protest?
Second, ….there is no second

Too many 18-20 year olds don’t have enough self control to own handguns. Look at police blotters for supporting data.
In the military, their gun use is under military discipline.
