“Banning gun sales to young American adults under 21 is unconstitutional, judge rules

[archives]

“RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A federal judge in Virginia has ruled that a law banning licensed federal firearms dealers from selling handguns to young adults under 21 violates the Second Amendment and is unconstitutional.”

“The ruling Wednesday by U.S. District Court Judge Robert Payne in Richmond, if not overturned, would allow dealers to sell handguns to 18- to 20-year-olds.”

“Payne’s ruling is the latest decision striking down gun laws in the wake of a landmark Supreme Court ruling last year. The Supreme Court said judges should no longer consider whether the law serves public interests, like enhancing public safety”

“Payne, who cited the 2022 Supreme Court ruling repeatedly in his ruling, wrote that the government failed to present “any evidence of age-based restrictions on the purchase or sale of firearms from the colonial era, Founding or Early Republic.”

“Not only are guns the leading cause of death for U.S. kids and teens, but research shows us that 18- to 20-year-olds commit gun homicides at triple the rate of adults 21 years and older”

So in other words, how can age restrictions on nearly anything be legal given such as restrictions on alcohol consumption or say child labor weren’t around in the 18th Century? How can guns be barred from anywhere, ie, bars, NFL games, anywhere, since they were allowed at public events three centuries ago? It defies common sense

Amazing how Thomas’s sophomoric interpretation of history is now accepted cause six ideologues with a political agenda confirmed it was accurate? And now even public safety, “the right to life,” can’t be considered a factor in weighing gun decisions

Appears the “well regulated militia” has no regulations

boohoo. is an 18 year old that can join the armed forces, vote, drive, and get married an adult or not? If they are, they get ALL the rights afforded to adults. If not, stop talking about letting 16 year olds vote and 14 year olds opting to transition to another gender.

The mention of militias was without question the most STUPID part of the Second Amendment.


It tells all the devolved, mutant crackers that the constitution specifically allows the violent overthrow

of a government with periodic free elections, an amendable constitution, and professional armed forces.

The reasonable right of citizens in good standing to own firearms
would have been easy to word
by ANYBODY with a three digit IQ,

but that was an attribute not to be found

in the total fucking assholes who wrote our constitution.

What's really sad is how few Americans seem to understand that.
We must be a seriously stupid nation.

It made sense at the time the amendment was written. At that time, the "militia" consisted of all able bodied male adults in a particular location, town, county, state, whatever. They were expected to have access to a military grade firearm and could be called out for service during a war.

That has changed with time. Today it works more like this with respect to the 2nd Amendment:

You have the Organized Militia which today is called the National Guard. Then you have the unorganized militia that consists of able bodied adults who are expected to turn out in a national emergency / war if needed and provide their own arms when doing so.

We did it a much smarter way back in my youth.

We had a motherfucking draft. That's how the pricks got me.
And I'd have had no problem with it had it been a legitimate to fight war.
And even though it wasn't, we all did what we were expected to do anyway.

Best not confuse people with intelligent solutions, however.

The irony being that it was the Democrats that got the 18-year-olds the right to vote. Remember when Pelosi wanted 16-year-olds to vote? If they’re not mature enough to handle a gun why does anyone think they’re mature enough to vote?

I support raising the age to 21, or better yet, age 25, for everything

Mr. Tiny Penis, for once we agree.

That's ok for voting.

Maybe ok for firearms ownership too--I owned guns as a teenager, but rather easily managed not to cap anyone's ass with them. Everybody isn't I, though.

Not necessary for driving, certainly.

Not necessary for drinking, either.

A college kid not being able to order a bottle of wine when taking his girlfriend to dinner is fucking ridiculous.

A sophisticated European would understand that, but perhaps not a Middle-American fuckwit.

They either are adults, or not. If they are old enough to vote, they're old enough to buy a firearm.

Also, Fentanyl far outstrips firearms in child deaths - your constant lies get old.

The fat that it isn't true makes it hard to understand.



Electing assholes leads to tyranny, but unless the next election has been cancelled,

the tyrants haven't accomplished their goal yet,

and are easily vanquished

without fucking brain dead cracker militia members

who will with certainty make things worse.

It tells all the devolved, mutant crackers

Wrong again halfwit. It triggers low IQ leftist morons that failed basic history.

that the constitution specifically allows the violent overthrow of a government with periodic free elections, an amendable constitution, and professional armed forces.

More word salad from a lying leftist halfwit. It never occurs to Government loving leftist halfwits that Governments have murdered and caused more human misery than all other actions.

The reasonable right of citizens in good standing to own firearms
would have been easy to word
by ANYBODY with a three digit IQ,

So claims the halfwit who can barely tie his shoes.

but that was an attribute not to be found in the total fucking assholes who wrote our constitution.
