Fourth Circuit Panel Upholds Minimum Age of 21 for Handgun Purchases

A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upheld federal law Wednesday mandating 21 years as the minimum age for handgun purchases.

The federal law was challenged in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Bruen (2022), which requires that gun controls in the 21st century be tested via national historicity and by whether a said control would have been acceptable to those living in the era of our nation’s founding.

After the Bruen decision was handed down, Justice Clarence Thomas looked at the totality of Bruen, Heller (2008), and Chicago (2010), and said, “The test courts must apply is whether a firearms restriction would have seemed reasonable to the founding generation that crafted and ratified the Second Amendment. If not, the law must give way to the Constitution.”

In the Fourth Circuit panel, two judges–Harvie Wilkinson and Toby Heytens–voted to uphold the minimum age of 21 while judge Marvin Quattlebaum dissented.

So anyone enlisting in the military is disqualified from joining the MP's, AP,s or SP's until they are 21? if they can't carry a pistol......

I think there are States in which the parents are allowed to purchase guns for their children.

This is dumb. I've owned a pistol since before I was old enough to hunt. How's a kid gonna dispatch his trapped animals? I was trapping before I was 15.

And I need not mention the utility of a pistol when hunting buckbrush down in the hollers, where the game is... You'd have to be an idiot to walk into that brush without a pistol.

These people are stupid. And I sure as hell won't pay em any mind.

It says they can't buy one. Christmas is coming. It doesn't say they can't own one.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That is what killed me in NYS. You get a carry permit at age 18, but could not buy one until 21. I may or may not have given my next door neighbor a very sweet S&W .22 revolver for his birthday.
