The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a federal ban on handgun sales to adults aged 18-20 in McCoy v. ATF. This ruling contradicts a lower court's decision that applied the Bruen standard, finding no historical tradition for such a ban. The appeals court relied on the 'infancy doctrine' and 19th-century laws to justify the restriction, potentially setting a dangerous precedent for future gun control challenges.
