Fantastic!

Next- the ban on 18-21 year olds buying pistols? 

[MechAg94]

Considering the way Bruen was written, there were no reason for the judge to stop at 18.  I doubt there were many restrictions on minors at the time the 14th Amendment or the 2nd Amendment were ratified.  Then again, those restrictions are probably from other laws than the one in question. 

Sounds good to me.


The lady spoke at my gun range annual meeting a few years ago.  Pretty good talk.

True.

The early militia acts in the USA required able bodied men 18 to 44 years of age to own musket, bayonet and ammunition.... so 18 year olds should definitely be allowed to buy and own handguns.

Yes, the version of the Militia Act that is currently in federal law sets the lower age limit at 17 years. 10 U.S. Code 246:

https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title10-section246&num=0&edition=prelim

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

So all able-bodied males between the ages of 17 and 45 who are not in the National Guard or the Naval Militia are members of the unorganized militia -- whether they know it or not. I suspect that some liberal heads would explode if they ever learned that they are the militia.

How long before they try to tell us that once we hit 45 we have to give up our firearms?

Don't give them any ideas.
