Exactly what is idiotic? You made the argument that because the Constitution doesn't contain an age limitation, any "arbitrary" age limit on carrying weapons is unconstitutional. I'm simply pointing out the absurdity of your point.

Better it gets pointing out by another conservative in a conservative forum, than some lefty hangs you out to dry in front of some swing voters when it matters.

Saying that the Second Amendment is limited to adults is something with which a great many gun owners would agree.

It's only absurd in your mind. It used to be that grade school kids would go plinking after school with .22's...

Do you REALLY think we're better off with your arbitrary age restrictions? That children are not longer taught to respect and use these types of tools? Even the Founders advocated that children be taught firearms basics.

“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
- Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788

If so, you really don't have anything more of value to add to the discussion.
