The second ammendmant is thr right to bear arms, NOT the right to carry guns there is a difference which has been disputed for years.
Basically it states that is is "LAWFUL TO FORM A MILITIA TO BEAR ARMS", "AGAINST OPPRESSORS", some interpret this as a right of anybody to carry a gun, others argue this means merely the right of the country as a whole to defend itself against an invading force, NOT for individuals to carry guns.
In UTAH it is legal to carry a gun at 14 years of age, but NOT to drink till 21.
Americans have a a saying "GUNS DO NOT KILL, PEOPLE DO", presumably this is why they let people have guns so they can kill ?
