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, citing the Second Amendment's protections for young adults.
  • The ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals referenced the Supreme Court's 2022 Bruen decision, which established a historical test for gun restrictions.
  • Judge Edith Jones stated that the government provided little evidence of age-based bans during the nation's founding, leading to the overturning of a previous decision.
  • The ruling affects Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, and the Justice Department has not indicated whether it will appeal the decision.
