A federal district court in Virginia, in the case of Frasier v. ATF, has struck down the ban on 18-20 year olds purchasing handguns. The ruling, authored by Judge Robert E. Payne, found that the current prohibition violates the Second Amendment as interpreted by the Supreme Court's Bruin decision. The court determined that 18-year-olds are considered part of 'the people' protected by the Second Amendment and that the government failed to demonstrate the ban aligns with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation.
