Court Finds 21 and Over Law Unconstitutional

A federal appeals court this week took a look at the 1968 law that barred adults under age 21 from purchasing handguns and found it did not square against the right to keep and bear arms. 

In the appeal of Tanner Hirchfeld and Natalia Marshall against federal gun regulators, a divided 2-1 panel of the U.S. 4th Circuit decided Tuesday that the provisions blocking otherwise lawful handgun sales to some adults due to their age go too far.
