These age-based gun bans for adults under 21 come under valid scrutiny given the Supreme Court\u2019s history and tradition test, instead of the unconstitutional interest-balancing test that was expressly rejected by <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/21pdf\/20-843_7j80.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"illinois-attorney-general-leads-coalition-to-support-age-based-gun-bans\" title=\"Illinois Attorney General Leads Coalition to Support Age-Based Gun Bans\">Bruen<\/a><\/em> decision.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dispute pivots on a recent ruling by a federal judge in Virginia, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/virginia-judge-strikes-down-laws-banning-gun-sales-adults-under-21\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"illinois-attorney-general-leads-coalition-to-support-age-based-gun-bans\" title=\"Illinois Attorney General Leads Coalition to Support Age-Based Gun Bans\">found that the federal prohibition<\/a> on handgun sales to adults younger than 21 violates Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judge Robert E. Payne rejected arguments in<em> Fraser v. ATF<\/em> by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and gun control groups suggesting that adults under 21 could have parents buy a gun for them or purchase one from a private party, explained Oliva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Judge Payne noted that relying on a third-party to acquire a firearm still implicates and infringes on the rights of young adults. The crux of the issue is a blanket, age-based prohibition on buying arms that the Supreme Court has already said are protected by the Second Amendment,&#8221; said Oliva. &#8220;There is a growing body of case law applying <em>Bruen<\/em> and holding that age discrimination laws infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of young adults.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raoul&#8217;s amicus brief in the 5th Circuit was joined by the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, stay tuned for updates.
