…an appeals court of out Virginia just knocked down a long-standing law. And it will grant rights to millions of Americans.
From NY Post:
A 53-year-old law preventing federally licensed firearms dealers from selling handguns or handgun ammunition to adults under the age of 21 is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday…
“In the law, a line must sometimes be drawn. But there must be a reason why constitutional rights cannot be enjoyed until a certain age. Our nation’s most cherished constitutional rights vest no later than 18. And the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms is no different.”
Why It’s Important:
A federal appeals court in Richmond, VA decided that a law that only allows 21-year-olds and older to buy guns is unconstitutional.
And the opinion was led by a Trump-appointed judge. No surprise there!
They ruled that all legal adults, which include those 18 and up, can buy firearms and ammo from licensed firearms dealers.
