A coalition of California gun rights groups has sued the state in federal court to prevent the enactment of a law prohibiting people younger than 21 from buying firearms.
“Once individuals turn 18, they are adults in the eyes of the law,” said Carlsbad attorney John W. Dillon, lead counsel for the plaintiffs. “Law-abiding adults are entitled to fully exercise all of their fundamental rights, including their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms for all lawful purposes, not just hunting or sport.”
The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. That’s the same district where Judge Roger Benitez struck down California’s ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines earlier this year.
Thank God Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were confirmed to the Supreme Court. If we had 2 Sotomayor/Ginsberg/Kagan/Breyer clones, the liberals would have succeeded at further restricting our civil rights under the Constitution.
If this succeeds, then lower it to 18 for weed and alcohol too then.
If the argument is 18 is an adult and an adult is an adult then there should just be one age for everything.
If you had ever read the U.S. Constitution, you would know that it contains the right to keep and bear arms, not the right to get stoned and drunk.
Fortunately, the Founding Fathers had very little in common with the lunatics passing laws in places like California, or the lunatics that put them in positions of power.

I wasn't referencing the Constitution, I was referencing basic logic.
Also the Constitution does not specify an age of majority other than 18 for voting.
Your hostility to weed or alcohol use combined with your fetish for guns are absolutely irrelevant political positions for this discussion. The question is a basic one, at what age do you gains the rights of adults to do adult things.

I have been saying for decades, that legislation has added language to the 2nd Amendment.
I have asked before, "When does a person, become a person?"
I see no, "Privilege of Citizens, 21 years of age" telling the government what our rights as people are, concerning arms.

Good. Could you imagine the outrage if the abortion age was raised to 21? As for alcohol, I don’t see how the government can justify setting the legal age to do anything above the age on conscription. In NJ you need to be 19 to buy tobacco. They raised the age above 18 again recently for something dumb. I agree that not everyone matures equally but if we set an age for adulthood then we need to honor it in all privileges.

Bring back the draft for 18 years olds as well.
