A hell of a lot of ‘minors’ took up arms to defeat the British. Many of them gave their lives so that we might live in freedom. A pox on those who disavow their sacrifice.

I heard something else about the Texas case. One cannot get a carry permit until age 21. This article is stating the law prevents “minors” from carrying. Last time I checked once a person turns 18 they are no longer a minor. They can vote, be tried for crime as an adult, and are subject to the military draft. They no longer need parental permission for anything.
This fact is my argument against the age 21 drinking laws. One could be forced (by the draft) to fight for one’s country yet cannot have a beer.
I'll also bring up a pet peeve about the media. They a report that a “teen” committed a crime when the perp is 18 or 19. Technically they are correct, however most think of a teen as 13 to 17.

Or even arms.
As in: “I’m going to rip your arm off and beat you over the head with it”.

“it has not said what that means...”
The people questioning the wording want the meaning to be as limited as possible.
Those who wrote the wording intended as expansive a meaning as possible.
More words are not going to resolve this.

They’ll just put a bunch of disabled weapons attached via cable in parks and other public space. People can come by and pick them up and handle them whenever they want thus ensuring the public’s right to bear arms is not infringed.

Just one more thing. The entire country should be required to follow the 2nd Amendment. Just like this case in Virginia from a few years back.
VA law allows open carry without a permit. Norfolk police arrested a man for openly carrying a weapon in the city in violation of a city ordinance.
The case made it to the VA supreme court, who ruled that no municipality can pass a law the supersedes a state law, e.g. Norfolk's ordinance was invalid.
Therefore, any state, county, or city law MUST be constitutional.

The main foundations of every state, new states as well as ancient or composite ones, are good laws and good arms - you cannot have good laws without good arms, and where there are good arms, good laws inevitably follow.

Not 100% sure, but I thought I heard Mark Levin once say that the State Legislatures actually are more powerful than the US CongressThe State Legislatures can make any law, let's say a gun law, outside the jurisdiction of their state courts. CONgress can also make laws outside the jurisdiction of Federal Courts. Its called Jurisdiction stripping.
The Federal and State Legislatures could do this to overcome activists Judges but they do not for this reason: they agree with with the activist Judges but can't let the rubes at home know that.

They’ll be trying to convince us that the Founders meant that it is OK to wear tank tops and nothing more...
The word “bear” was merely a spelling error...yeah, that’s the ticket!

Nobody asked the bears.
