Federal law banning handgun sales 18- to 20-year-olds is unconstitutional, appeals court rules
- A federal appeals court ruled that the ban on handgun sales to 18- to 20-year-olds is unconstitutional, referencing the Second Amendment's protections.
- The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stated that the historical evidence did not support restricting firearm rights for this age group.
- The ruling is significant as it aligns with recent Supreme Court decisions expanding gun rights, particularly the 2022 Bruen case.
- Brandon Combs of the Firearms Policy Coalition called the ruling a victory against age-based gun restrictions.
