        NRA's apparent argument: The fact that 18-y/o's can vote — despite that this was accomplished by constitutional amendment in 1971 — and can be drafted (by statute) shows that the 2nd Amendment (adopted in 1791) applies to them.pic.twitter.com/4R2EpjpRzW

        I definitely am interested in seeing their arguments on this, but that reads as a pretty weak opening salvo to me. (As noted, that one graf even says, “almost all purposes.”)

        NRA doesn't have standing.

        They're going to claim associational standing, which I think would actually be pretty strong here.

        I'm surprised they didn't get a few individual plaintiffs, but they clearly wanted to get to court fast. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't amend it to add some individuals.

        Winning attorney in Mississippi University v Hogan, Wilbur Colom, told me he could win a case on raising drinking age to 21 if he client with standing.

        If you can vote, fight, and die for this great country, you should be able to buy a gun. I don’t drink but I believe this rule should apply there as well if you choose to.

        A better way to frame this argument is to raise the age for military service from 18 to 21

        Replying to @padraig2112 @jasonsteele70 and

        When the drinking was lowered to 18, reasoning being the voting age was lowered, driving fatalities increased. The national age was changed to 21 in 1984. Similar reasoning to justify raising the age to buy or possess a firearm.

        Right. It’s a militia called the trained police. I call them instead of taking care of it myself. Keeps the peace.

        Changing the subject is ineffective. I’d be happy to arm my drone but I’m trying not to go there. A line in the sand, limiting weapons, is better than no line at all. Like swearing, discouraged but it exists.
