Ban on selling handguns to young adults under 21 is unconstitutional, Justice Department says

The United States Justice Department announced in a legal opinion released Friday that a federal law prohibiting licensed firearms dealers from selling handguns to young adults under the age of 21 is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced.

The opinion, originating from the Justice Department's Office, marks a significant stance on federal gun regulations regarding the constitutional rights of young adults. The decision affects how federal firearms laws are applied to citizens between the ages of 18 and 21 across the country.
