    Federal judge AXES 1968 law banning under 21s from buying
    handguns, after ruling statute violated Second Amendment
    rights of over 18s

    District Judge Robert E. Payne concluded in a 71-page file
    that current regulations cannot stand as they are not
    'consistent'

    The plaintiff in the case, John Corey Fraser, was 20 years
    old when he attempted to buy a Glock 19x handgun from a
    federally licensed dealer and was turned away

    Judge Payne sided with Fraser, saying the right to purchase
    a handgun falls under right to 'keep and bear arms,' and
    young adults are among 'the people' protected by the
    Second Amendment

    . . .

    Hmmm ... next the Wokies will say the 1st amendment
    doesn't apply if you're over 30 .......

    Sorry, but rights are rights. If you're legally an
    adult - with all that comes, and taxes, with that -
    then you can pick your religion, speak your mind and
    buy a gun. The larger good does outweigh the occasional
    transgressor no matter how the MSM tries to hype it.

    Yea, yea ... the Wokies will immediately go shopping
    for another federal judge ... the usual game ... but
    it's good to know there still ARE some Constitutionalists
    out there.
