    Only the right to “ bare arms” is natural.

    Of course they do. If they’re not of age, they don’t qualify.

    Nope, only the right to bare arms is natural and even that is not unlimited,

    Because the 18 year old can kill someone with the gun.

    Do you think that giving alcohol to a kids should be considered child abuse?

    Exactly, so why do you think that I was 'jesting?'

    I'm confused. Didn't you say earlier that there were no laws against selling alcohol to a minor?

    Actually, I think the fact that they can buy a gun is more significant than the fact that they can join the military. At least they have supervision in the military.

    Is it realistic that the citizens would be able to take on the government, even if they were as well armed?

    So should there be a limit on speech?

    Never said the third part of the opinion was part of the holding. I merely pointed out that a conservative icon and a majority of the Court acknowledged that the right is not absolute.

    "As easy" doesn't mean as EXPENSIVE! You DO think that an FGM-148 should be as easy to purchase as a .22 rifle, don't you?

    Wouldn't a cement mixer require a heavy vehicle license to purchase?

    Is it more likely to stop someone doing that, or stopping someone in the desert engaging airliners with an FIM-92?

    How is it easier to get your voting Rights back if they are no different to other rights, such as gun rights? You started off by saying, "its the same because you are just applying to get your Rights back."

    What the hell? What if the day after someone gets a license they commit a crime which now means that they can't legally buy a gun?

    And what makes you think they wouldn't have supervision outside of the military.

    Well presumably you think that the minimum age for gun purchase should be 18 or older.

    18 is definitely old enough to own a gun.
