DOJ Says Handgun Ban For 18-Year-Olds Is Unconstitutional

About this video

Colion discusses a recent Department of Justice legal opinion stating that the federal ban on licensed dealers selling handguns to 18-20 year olds is unconstitutional. He argues that the inconsistency in treating 18-year-olds as adults for voting, military service, and other responsibilities while denying them Second Amendment rights is hypocritical. Colion contends that if society considers 18-year-olds mature enough to vote and serve in militias (as the Founders required), they should be trusted to purchase handguns for self-defense.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that denying 18-year-olds the right to purchase handguns while granting them voting rights and adult responsibilities is inconsistent and unfair
• According to Colion, historical evidence shows the Founders required 18-year-olds to serve in militias with their own firearms, undermining the ’too young’ argument
• Colion emphasizes that young adults living independently in dangerous areas should have the means to protect themselves and their families
• Colion notes this DOJ opinion is not a permanent fix and can be reversed by future administrations or state laws
