Minnesota’s ban on 18- to 20-year-olds obtaining a permit to publicly carry a handgun violates the US Constitution, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
We aren’t sending them to war to die, there hasn’t been a draft in half a century
You can argue morally but legally there’s nothing in the constitution defining what an adult is except for the 26th amendment and that specifically talks about the right to vote. In the case of voting Oregon v Mitchell decided that it was unconstitutional to force states to lower there voting age to 18 for state and local elections without an amendment, which eventually was added. Barring another amendment passing why can’t states choose to decide what they define as adults for gun ownership?

Clearly because federal appeals court said so?
States can do as they please my point was more about how clown these rules look
Oh we’re not? Did we not just get out of 20 years of a war?
You’ll hand an 18 year old a belt fed machinegun and a mortar system that will damage their brain every time they fire it.
But god help us all if they have a pistol, beer, or cigarette?
