How did Adam Toledo have a gun if he didn't have the right to own one?

Where in the 2nd Amendment does it have an age limit?
Where in the enumerated powers clause does it authorize any government the right to dictate rights and limits on those rights?
“The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right."Nunn vs. State, 1846

Like everybody else in this country who has ever had access to a gun without the “right” to own one, sh*t-for-brains. Use your imagination. Maybe Daddy left it lying around on the coffee table.....

Criminals do not obey laws unless you happened to be black and cops are white.

Facts: Toledo was a 13-year-old carrying a gun at 2:30 a.m. in the company of a 21-year-old also arrested for shooting. The officer was in a chase in a dark alley yelling for the kid to stop. It appears he dropped the gun and tried to surrender, but the cop shot him.
Blame parent, the adult with him, too many guns in the public and police who’d rather shoot than take a chance at being shot. If law abiding citizens didn’t have guns then the police would more easily identify the criminals who would illegally use them. Maybe then they would be less likely to shoot first and innocent people would still be alive.

The guns flood across the state line f/ Indiana. New Jersey has the same problem w/ guns across the bridge f/ Pa. Chicago will always be permeated w/ guns no matter how strict the local laws because it's only as strong as the weakest link. As it relates to the Toledo case, it's still developing. I don't predict the future or pretend to know the unknown. I saw a video freeze w/ the kid 'empty hands up' and then a gunshot.

Which will it be... is it his Constitutional right to own one or not? Kyle Rittenhouse had one that people thought that he should have...

Supply. There are more guns than people in the US. Lots of supply means easy access and low cost. Kids get all sorts of things they shouldn't have. I was buying beer at 15 when the drinking age was 21 in my state. Adjacent state was 18 at the time.

Just because there is a law doesn't mean that no one will break it.
When someone has their hands up or are driving away with no threat to you why shoot when you don't know your target or your danger? Adrenaline and cop training. Shoot first and then let the explaining begin. Nothing that kid did was worthy of an arbitrary or summary death sentence.

It's for the same reason that there are at least 20 million people living in this country who don't have a right to be here. Too many people have no respect for the law.
