Federal Court Strikes Down Handgun Sale Age Limits

A federal appeals court has ruled that the nationwide ban on handgun sales to individuals aged 18 to 20 is unconstitutional, asserting these age groups are included among “the people” protected by the Second Amendment. The decision from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans overturns a previous ruling that required buyers to be at least 21, aligning with recent trends against strict firearms regulations following a pivotal Supreme Court ruling in 2022.

This ruling could reshape the landscape of firearm laws across the United States, as other states have similarly found age-based restrictions unconstitutional. Gun rights advocates see this as a landmark victory, while groups advocating for stricter gun control argue the decision jeopardizes public safety, citing statistics showing higher homicide rates among young adults. With the possibility of the Trump administration not appealing the ruling, a significant precedent may emerge in favor of broader gun rights.
