    Here's a question for you Yanks...

    It appears the NRA are suing Florida after recent gun laws were passed. The NRA, of course, cite the 2nd Amendment, but they also cite the 14th Amendment with regards to Florida raising the age from 18 to 21.

    Now, if the 14th Amendment protects an 18 y/o's right to buy guns, why doesn't it apply to alcohol?

    the 14th amendment guarantees due process. Specifically, rights cannot be deprived without due process.

    Guns are a right. Alcohol isn't.

    Do you not think this is messed up? You have the right to possess a lethal weapon, but not the right to ingest liquids of your choice?

    Guns stabilize society, alcoholism destabilizes society.

    Arguably. But still... I guess this is just my pov, but I feel like noone has the right to tell me I can't smoke weed, so I ignore the law. Same applies for alcohol. Of course I have the right to drink it, simply because noone has the right to stop me.
