Videos tagged with Texas Handgun Ban

A federal judge in Texas struck down a state law prohibiting 18-20 year olds from carrying handguns outside the home, ruling it unconstitutional based on the Second Amendment's text and historical tradition. This ruling in Andrews v. McCraw has been submitted in a Florida lawsuit, NRA v. Swearingen, challenging the state's ban on handgun purchases for individuals under 21. The legal arguments emphasize that age-based restrictions on firearm possession and purchase for law-abiding citizens are not historically supported and violate Second Amendment protections.
