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

[Bell Huey]

A few years ago VA implemented a law that all firearm transfers needed to go thru an FFL so a BC could be done. That meant those 18-20 could not purchase a handgun in a private sale because the FFL could not legally do a background check for a sale to one under 21. I believe that is where this case comes from.

I bet BoostedHayabusa hates the fact that FEDERAL LAW allows an 18 year old to buy a shotgun or rifle.

Except that an 18 year old could do a background check. There is nothing in the Federal Laws that says that any Adult (18 is legally an adult) can be denied the owning of a handgun. And if you do go though a FFL then you Must pass a BG check. Read up on Heller V D.C.. That explains the most recent ruling about 18 year olds being allowed to purchase a handgun. And why the AR can be heavily regulated by the state, province, county or city.

Baby Huey, I hate everything and everyone. I am not one to discriminate.

Nah. You are just a dick that gets his kicks by stirring up shit on the internet.

Federal Judge in Virginia got it wrong, and this is not the last time you will hear about this.

My 16 year old nephew bought a gun for hunting.

Federal prohibits an FFL from selling a handgun to an 18 year old. That also means that the BC can't be done.

I know. I pointed that out. You can't buy one from an FFL.

I hate you no more or less than any other person. Baby Huey, you are not special

You're really going to ask that while sitting at a computer? You've heard there's no such thing as a dumb question? Well it's not true.

Hey, whatever happened to the black guy that kicked him in the face and said "get his gun" just before the next 2 caught teh bullets?

 

[marvin martian]

I am not convinced that anyone other than active militia members should be able to own guns.

Your Nazi forebears felt the same way.

I don't care. I hope he shoots his eye out.

Looks like he got it very right. Why would any Constitutionally guaranteed right be denied to any adult American?

 

[Vastator]

straw purchase... just like the guns... lock em up for life

It would be better for everyone involved if we simply locked you, and those like you up. Then the big, scary, mean world couldn't hurt you.

Baby Huey? LMAO! Like this is the first time I have heard that one in 20 plus years of posting.

Wtf ever, mental microbe.

The fact is there are many young folks buying rifles for hunting or target practice.

MOST states ignored that and did it anyway. And it was just a matter of time when a Court were to rule that an 18 year old CAN purchase a handgun. The law you are talking about was a Federal Firearms law adopted in 1968. But the grounds to rewrite that law was done by Heller V DC in 2008. So, technically, that part of the law has not been enforceable since 2008.

All roads for firearms leads back to Heller V DC.
