The Second Amendment, at its core, spells out not one, but two, rights when it protects “the right of the people.” There is a right to “keep” a gun, there is a right, to “bear” a gun. There is an “and” between the two in the text, so that might well be taken as a significant indication that these are separate rights.

The National Rifle Association, and some of its members, are now pressing the Supreme Court to answer that question. They are doing so in two cases testing whether the federal government and the states can restrict the rights of minors to possess a gun outside the home.

Yahoo!

So what do you think? Since minors are defined as 1. a person under the age of full legal responsibility. synonyms: child, infant, youth, adolescent, teenager, boy, girl

Would you agree that 10 year old children are protected under the Constitution to carry handguns to school?

I actually read the article, and it doesn't mention "school", "children", or "kids" in it at all. So your point is moot.

"The case involving the Texas law is explicitly about a right to carry a handgun in public, at least for minors."

Wow....you have a real problem with comprehension, don't you?

Please enlighten me as to your definition of "minors" and "public" (bearing in mind that to most everyone even an 18 year old is a kid and public schools are, well, public).

Or are you waiting for Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck weigh in so you know how to comment on this subject? :confused:
 
"the right to keep and bear arms" is not two separate rights. "and" joins them together. It means I can keep and bear arms, PERIOD!!
 
Children are not automatically entitled to any civil right before the legal age of adulthood. All sorts of things are conditional why would guns be different?

If your argument is hyperbole you must not have much an argument to make.

Is it illegal for a 15 year old to go deer hunting with his father?
 
Some minors are permitted to carry under certain circumstances.

This law applies to the state of Arizona:

No state permit is required to possess a shotgun, rifle or handgun. It is unlawful for a "prohibited possessor" to possess a firearm.

This prohibition does not apply to a person between 14 and 17 engaged in lawful hunting, marksmanship practice, transportation of an unloaded firearm for the purpose of hunting or, between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., transportation of an unloaded firearm for the purpose of marksmanship at a range or other area where the discharge of firearms is not prohibited.

In our system, state-operated schools may not be enclaves of totalitarianism. School officials do not possess absolute authority over their students. Students in school, as well as out of school, are "persons" under our Constitution. They are possessed of fundamental rights which the State must respect, just as they themselves must respect their obligations to the State. In our system, students may not be regarded as closed-circuit recipients of only that which the State chooses to communicate. They may not be confined to the expression of those sentiments that are officially approved. In the absence of a specific showing of constitutionally valid reasons to regulate their speech, students are entitled to freedom of expression of their views. As Judge Gewin, speaking for the Fifth Circuit, said, school officials cannot suppress "expressions of feelings with which they do not wish to contend." Burnside v. Byars, supra, at 749.

Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School Dist.

Children have fundamental rights, according to the SCOTUS. This case was about the right to express their sentiments about the Vietnam war, but life is a fundamental right. If children didn't have fundamental rights, you could legally kill your children.

if an 18 year old can go fight a fucking War....he no longer is a kid.....
 
The OP has no problem with 14 year olds having abortions without parental consent, but reaches on this issue, interesting........

That 's pure bullshit.

That is the pretext SCOTUS uses in order to compel the children to attend the government's minimum security prisons, aka, public schools. And once they are there to subject them to all kinds of searches and seizures.

I think that most liberals would argue that some minors ought to be able to obtain an abortion from a doctor without parental permission. I don't think I've ever heard a liberal say claim that the right to abortion without parental permission is inherent to a minor.
 
Since we know that every mass shooter in modern history was a democrat and/or a liberal left winger or a complete maniac we need to take steps to make sure maniacs and democrats don't have access to guns.

The hell they aren't. They're entitled to the same protections under the Constitution that we are.

Obviously the NRA doesn't consider it hyperbole if they are taking it to the SCOTUS for a Constitutional ruling on allowing kids to pack a firearm in public.

18 year olds are kids whether they are in the service or cruising chicks on Main Street. The ones in the service are more worthy of our respect but they are still 18 year old kids.
