Federal Court Called 'Reckless' For Ruling Banning Handguns For 18-20 Year-Olds Is Unconstitutional

About this video

Colion discusses a Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that struck down the federal requirement that handgun buyers be at least 21 years old, arguing it violates the Second Amendment. He frames the decision as a constitutional victory, contending that 18-20 year-olds are legal adults who can serve in the military and should not be denied handgun purchase rights. Colion criticizes gun control groups for what he characterizes as inconsistently labeling young adults as ’teenagers’ to advance their agenda, and he argues the age restriction was never constitutionally sound.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues the Fifth Circuit ruling correctly recognizes that 18-20 year-olds, as legal adults, have Second Amendment rights to purchase handguns
• Colion criticizes gun control advocates for what he sees as selectively calling 18-20 year-olds ’teenagers’ when discussing gun rights while treating them as adults in other contexts
• Colion contends the 1968 federal handgun age restriction lacked historical constitutional basis and predicts it will not survive Supreme Court review
