After NRA lawsuit against Florida, Alyssa Milano accidentally makes the case to lower the drinking age

The National Rifle Association filed suit on Friday against the state of Florida to fight a newly signed law that raised the age to buy any firearm to 21:

Sounds like we’re headed to SCOTUS on this:

This will have to go to SCOTUS eventually. Appeals courts will split on it since it’s in other jurisdictions. Constitution does not have age for 2nd Amendment. https://t.co/XZex3QfBoP

But as we wait for this to make it through the courts, here’s Alyssa Milano’s take on it:

The @NRA thinks it’s fine to be able to buy a gun before you can buy a beer. https://t.co/medF1hBXfE

Hey, we agree with her! Lower the age to buy a beer to 18, too:

I think you should be able to buy a gun at the same age you should be able to buy a beer: 18. https://t.co/i0iOGzM9Nm

I'd be good with that. https://t.co/c4lyWFDxm1

Oh, and somebody please tell her that right to drink beer isn’t in the Constitution?

Well yes.
You have a Constitutional Civil Right to own and carry a firearm and there is no age restriction in the Bill of Rights.
You do not have a right to own a beer. https://t.co/um3Nhfx1fZ
