Supreme Court won’t consider gun rights for minors

Are you kidding me?This is a story about SCOTUS refusing to entertain the case of 18-20-year-olds and their right to keep and bear arms.

These youngsters are not minors, they’re old enough to vote, old enough to die for their country, old enough to act in porn movies, not old enough to drink a beer but that’s one of the remnants of the National Highway Act in which any State that didn’t raise the drinking age to 18 was denied federal funds.

But you know, maybe there’s a lesson in this experience, perhaps we should be going to the legislatures if the Supremes are too damn lazy to do their jobs.

On the other hand, some legislatures are downright hostile to our 2A.

 Soon, however, the court will consider a petition that presents the issue squarely. Opponents of New Jersey’s restrictions on carrying guns in public have asked the justices to overrule a 3rd Circuit appeals court ruling in Drake v. Jerejian that upheld the state law. Now that the 9th Circuit has ruled the other way, either case could provide a Supreme Court showdown.
