Judge Strikes Down Age-Based Attack on 2nd Amendment

The liberal agenda can never come to fruition so long as we are able to defend ourselves. That’s why Democrats never cease whittling away at the Second Amendment from every conceivable angle. Fortunately, we still have judges who respect the Constitution:

A federal judge in Virginia has ruled that a law banning licensed federal firearms dealers from selling handguns to young adults under 21 violates the Second Amendment and is unconstitutional.

The ruling Wednesday by U.S. District Court Judge Robert Payne in Richmond, if not overturned, would allow dealers to sell handguns to 18- to 20-year-olds.

In his 71-page ruling, Payne wrote that many of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship are granted at the age of 18, including the right to vote, enlist in the military without parental permission and serve on a federal jury.

Not to mention, 3-year-olds are regarded as competent to decide they are actually members of the opposite sex, according to liberal establishmentarians.

“If the Court were to exclude 18-to-20-year-olds from the Second Amendment’s protection, it would impose limitations on the Second Amendment that do not exist with other constitutional guarantees,” Payne wrote.

Hats off to Judge Payne. Due to the subversion of law schools by leftists, we cannot take it for granted that there are more like him coming down the pipe.

“Because the statutes and regulations in question are not consistent with our Nation’s history and tradition, they, therefore, cannot stand,” he wrote.

From the progressive viewpoint, it is that history and tradition that cannot stand. Democrats are at war with both, and are increasingly aggressive toward those who defend them.
