Does that right (which I fully support) extend to minors? I'm unclear on that.
Those rights extend to every single living american.
Period.
If it doesn't (no language in the bill of rights restricts rights to non-minors but restricts power of the state) what would keep the Libs from raising the legal age to say 65 or 100?
A question for you to chew on.
Nearly every day we hear about another child being grabbed up for nefarious purposes.
So, at what age does a person (Child) obtain the right to defend themselves against older and stronger assailants?
Is the age different for boys and girls?
What are they to be allowed, cell phone, knife, Kirpan, knitting needle, base-ball bat, gun?
Molesters and bangers are nothing new.
But when I was in school in the 60's no one cared that I carried a pocket knife, and for a while I started my day with a squirrel hunt, just across the street from my school.
I do not believe that "Kids" have really changed that much, they are still Homo-Sapiens, but I do think we get back the lack of trust we now give them in spades!
