Federal Judge Rules Handgun Ban for 18- to 20-Year-Olds Unconstitutional

A federal judge in Virginia ruled federal laws prohibiting handgun sales to 18- to 20-year-olds violate the Second Amendment.
The judge found the laws are inconsistent with historical gun restrictions and infringe on the rights of legal adults.
The ruling would allow handgun sales to 18- to 20-year-olds from licensed dealers for the first time in decades if upheld.
The Justice Department is expected to appeal the decision to a higher court.
Gun rights groups have challenged gun laws across the U.S. based on a recent Supreme Court ruling expanding gun rights.
