A federal judge said Wednesday that federal prohibitions on licensed dealers selling handguns to 18- to 20-year-olds are unconstitutional, in what is the latest legal volley over age-based firearm regulations – a court fight that has escalated since the Supreme Court’s major Second Amendment ruling last year.

hard to make the case for 21. for lots of things. Uncle Sam 'owns' you at 18, can hand you M16, send you off to go 'play' with machine guns, tanks, n rockets, knows ya might return kinda banged up, worse for wear.

but ya return, you're not yet 21? oh, sorry, ya can't shoot in the local bullseye pistol league....or, have 'joe the bartender' pour you a cold one in a nice frosted mug? something just doesn't sound right, "c'mon, man".

@Broc I think you might benefit from reading the whole article before you assume this is a meaningful win. Of course since you seem to willfully misunderstand me, it should come as no surprise. Maybe stop letting what you have decided I think (but don't) stop living rent free in your head? It's not healthy for you.

I'm going to put this as simply as I can: If we're going to come to a sustainable confidence in our long term ability to actually exercise our rights under 2A, we're going to have to stop acting like idiots. To use an analogy that might resonate for you: I'm saying 'stop coming off like Marjorie Taylor Greene and being completely ineffective laughing stocks but rather start working a long methodical game like Mitch McConnell'. (Not that I love the turtle either, I'm talking about the efficacy of his approach to advancing his agenda.)

The more you post, the more you convince me that I know exactly what you think.
