. Determining the age of majority, consent, responsibility etc. is one of the few remaining (unstolen or undelegated) State powers.
Generally speaking, an unalienable right is a right that it would be immoral to take away without consent.

They do it via individual due process in a court of law. Actually, that's the only way to negate an unalienable right. We do not take each and every 16-year-old to court to determine if we may negate his individual RKBA. We say all 16-year-olds may not purchase or own a gun.
You cannot do that with an unalienable right.

Our 'consent' is given in our State & US Constitutions.
As DC noted, childrens inalienable rights are held in trust by parents, and by our agreed upon State laws on the age of majority.
'We the people' have given consent to State laws on that matter.
Paulsen, your inability to understand even the most simple points of Constitutional logic is truly mindboggling.
Have you ever considered seeking professional help?
I'm thinking Ayran Nation/National Socialist. The ideologicla finger prints are all over his posts. I actually kinda hope I'm wrong on that one. But head over to Storm Front and check out some of their propaganda, then re-read some of RP's posts. Errie.
