US Judge Rules Federal Ban on Handgun Sales to 18-20 Year Olds Unconstitutional.
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge in Virginia has ruled that federal laws blocking the sale of handguns to buyers under the age of 21 violate constitutional rights to possess firearms. The ruling will not take effect until the judge issues his final order in the coming weeks, and the Justice Department is expected to challenge it. The ruling would not affect the 19 states that have their own laws barring handgun sales to anyone younger than 21.
