Sure, but there's nothing in the constitution saying minors have less rights. So it's just as "wacky" to give them less rights based on the text of the constitution as anything else. My point is any constitutuonal debate is going to be wacky. All that really is going to matter is how a judge feels, ultimately. Incidentally the text of the constitution was only meant to apply to the federal government initially so based on the actual text state governments can 100% ban guns, ban free speech, throw you in jail without the right to an attorney, etc. The Supreme Court does not interpret the constitution in that fashion today but that's a judge made reading.
