“There were no prohibitions on teens acquiring firearms at the time of the ratification of the Second Amendment.”

1. What were the conditions in the country at the time of the second amendment? Same as today? No. Most teen males at the time of the second amendment were already acquiring adult repsonsibilities many young folks do not obtain today till beyond age 21.

2. Nothing in the second amendment bars states from having some regulation of firearms.

3. If we can ban liquor sales to age 21 and over, how is it we cannot ban firearms sales similarly?

Liquor sales are not protected by the Second Amendment.

The Fourteenth Amendment extends Second Amendment restrictions to state and local governments.
