Supreme Court OKs guns for 18 year olds

If you are 18, you are old enough to fight for your country.  Are you also old enough to carry a gun in that country?  A recent state Supreme Court decision says, "yes, you are."  Click on this link to read an article (from a gun rights website) summarizing last year's decision.  Some applaud this as a step towards fairness and consistency while others worry about whether teenagers are yet ready to carry personal weapons.  Another link leads to a story about two young Texas men challenging in Federal court their state's prohibition of gun ownership for teenagers under age 21.
