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.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

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.
