Even the age at which you can buy various types of guns varies from state-to-state and that is ostensibly a constitutional right assured to all citizens. In Montana, a child is allowed to buy a gun from anybody other than an FFL. If they're 18 they can also buy rifles from FFLs. They can even buy machine guns if they have the money for it. Meanwhile in California, an 18 year old cannot buy even a single shot .22 rifle, they aren't allowed to purchase any gun until they are 21 years old. Imagine if Texas passed a law saying that you don't get your first ammendment rights until you're 21 years old. This is the America we live in.
