Handgun Ban for Under 21s Upheld by 5th Circuit
Submitted by Persona non grata on Mon, 2012-10-29 00:00
The federal government can prohibit federally licensed dealers from selling handguns to people under the age of 21, the 5th Circuit ruled.
"The present ban is consistent with a longstanding tradition of targeting select groups' ability to access and to use arms for the sake of public safety," Judge Edward Prado wrote for a three-judge panel.
To deny a person regardless of their age the natural law right of self-defense is indefensible. The courts specious claim of "the sake of public safety" may as well read for the safety of the children, which is of course every tyrants favorite rallying call.
