How does that differ from what I said? "That is all to say that various "adult" rights, such as the right to bear arms, are not guaranteed to minors, but can be granted or restricted by different levels of government."
As far as the federal government restricting gun rights for those over 17, the federal government has a long history of encroaching on the Second Amendment.
