Frequently Asked Questions

What was the outcome of the Brown v. ATF federal court case regarding firearm purchases for 18-20 year olds?

A US District Court ruled that the federal ban preventing 18-20 year olds from purchasing handguns from Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) is unconstitutional. The court denied the ATF's motion to dismiss and granted summary judgment to the plaintiffs.

What is the significance of the court's ruling on constitutional deprivation in the Brown v. ATF case?

The judge stated that the deprivation of a constitutional right is a 'per se' injury, meaning it is an injury in itself, regardless of whether the individual can find alternative ways to obtain a firearm. This rejects the ATF's argument that young adults suffer no injury.

Does the Second Amendment protect the right to purchase firearms, according to the Brown v. ATF ruling?

Yes, the ruling suggests that for the right to 'keep and bear arms' to have meaning, there must be a corresponding right to acquire them. The court dismantled the argument that the Second Amendment does not cover the act of purchasing firearms.
