Under 21? No handguns for you!!

A federal judge in Virginia has struck down a law prohibiting licensed federal firearms dealers from selling handguns to 18- to 20-year-olds, finding that it violates their Second Amendment rights and is unconstitutional.

In a 71-page ruling issued Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Payne said that since adults under 21 have the right to vote, join the military and serve on a federal jury, there is no reason why federal law should restrict them from buying a firearm.

"If the Court were to exclude 18-to-20-year-olds from the Second Amendment's protection, it would impose limitations on the Second Amendment that do not exist with other constitutional guarantees," Payne wrote.

"Because the statutes and regulations in question are not consistent with our Nation’s history and tradition, they, therefore, cannot stand," he wrote.

Note that this ruling only affects federal law on selling handguns to non-prohibited persons under the age of 21. From Reuters:
The ruling would not affect the 19 states that have their own laws barring handgun sales to anyone younger than 21.

Also note that Brandon's crooked DOJ is expected to challenge this ruling (edit to add: using your taxpayer dollars).
"Even though it ensures that future buyers can now purchase these firearms in the federal system — one that includes background checks and other requirements — we expect the defendants will appeal," Harding told the Associated Press.

Never underestimate Brandons ability to fruk things up.

I think Federally this only covers the east coast though.

It would end when the "public employees union" ends. It should be illegal to unionize for public service, period. Cops, Firefighters, anyone taking any sort of tax payer funded job.

Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day
