Justice Department contests handgun sale ban
The Justice Department has stated that a federal law prohibiting licensed firearms dealers from selling handguns to individuals under age 21 is unconstitutional, asserting it violates the Second Amendment. The legal opinion indicates the department will not defend or enforce the law, which enforces a minimum purchase age of 21 for handguns from licensed dealers, while allowing private sales to 18- to 20-year-olds. This decision follows a series of court rulings and is in the context of a recent landmark Supreme Court decision that reshaped firearm legal standards.
