re: Detroit - 19 yr old who shot mall gunman sentenced

Is this some kind of joke? The South has the most violence, in a large part because it has the most black people. (Also, even the white people in the South have a higher crime rate than white people outside the South.)

Detroit isn't really quite the same shithole that it was 15 or 20 years ago (although it still has some incidents like this), and Memphis is really worse than Detroit at this point.

what in the 2nd Amendment differentiates between 18 and 21 year olds?

Nothing, but you already know that. However, until challenged, the law is still the law.

To take your logic further, what, under the 2A, differentiates between 18 year old and a 17 year old? How about a 15 year old or a 12 year old? Where does your specific argument end and why?

"And what do you need a gun for protection in a mall, in the first place?"

Did the judge really say this? I live in a generally safe town. There are places that you do not go, however. Due to the clientele at the mall, that is one of those places. There have been at least two shootings at the mall in the last couple of years, The latest was just a month or two ago. If, by some chance, I absolutely had to go there, I wouldn't even pull into the parking lot without carrying, much less be trapped inside the mall without a gun.

Apparently, some billionaire from New York owns the mall, along with many others across the country. The speculation is that he buys these properties and purposely lets them become run down for some kind of tax write off.
