Are you still blackpilling? Because since Trump installed new management at DOJ and ATF, we’ve seen an almost unbroken string of wins and sensible actions that positively affect the gun rights of every law-abiding American. The zero tolerance policy is dead. Harmeet Dhillon established a Second Amendment section of her Civil Rights division. The $200 NFA transfer tax has been zeroed out. Patrick Adamiak has been freed. And there’s lots more.
The latest move just came today as the Main Justice office of legal counsel has issued a memorandum opinion stating that federal law that prohibits handgun sales as applied to adults aged 18 to 20 years old is unconstitutional.
Section 922(b)(1) and (c)(1) of title 18, U.S. Code, is unconstitutional as applied to young adults between eighteen and twenty who seek to purchase handguns. The provision prevents young adults, who are members of “the people” to whom the Second Amendment applies, from owning “arms” in common use for self-defense. This places the burden on the government to show that the restrictions are consistent with the Nation’s tradition of firearm regulation, which it cannot do.
You can read the 49-page opinion here.
The Gun Control Act of 1968 banned sales of handguns (and hangun ammo) to adults under 21 years of age. The office of legal counsel’s opinion states that the law “may not be enforced to impose criminal penalties on dealers who sell handguns to a class of law-abiding adults who, in nearly every other relevant respect, are members of the political community.”
The opinion is based on the Supreme Court’s Bruen ruling (the gift that keeps on giving) and makes the eminently reasonable judgement that adults aged 18 to 20 are, in fact, part of “the People” in terms of the Second Amendment and handguns are arms protected by the same civil right.
The DOJ’s opinion here agrees with that of the Fifth Circuit ruling last year that declared the adult age restrictions unconstitutional.
While this is a win, the law remains on the books. Congress hasn’t acted (as if) and a DOJ opinion isn’t a Supreme Court ruling. And there’s nothing to stop individual states from outlawing sales to young adults. The courts have been divided on the subject and with the Fifth Circuit’s ruling in Reese on the books, this would seem ripe for SCOTUS review. At some point. Stay tuned.
…and it can all go away after the mid-terms if democraps get a majority in the House and Senate.
Ever seems to keep forgetting that little fun fact.
How? PDT can veto anything they pass, but more importantly this is decided on constitutional grounds (meaning Congress can’t circumvent it).
We need to stop the Dems from getting majorities, but let’s not Chicken Little this.
Really bad timing on the fuel price spike and interest rates.
I haven’t forgotten what it looks like when Dems control any branch. Most voters’ memories seem to reset every few months. Democrats as the party of affordability only makes sense if you’ve been in a coma for the past 15 years. And their solutions are still “free” money and price fixing.
Yes. The ATF director, who outright admitted his only problem with federal agents literally framing an innocent man was the ultimate sentence, has deliberately stalled federal “law” enforcement’s operating on the ruling. It doesn’t matter if the fed won’t appeal: Until the ATF admits defeat (or more likely them getting sued for refusing to do so) the ruling means NOTHING.
BREAKING NEWS: Federal Ban on Interstate Handgun Purchases Struck Down!
The Fifth Circuit has ruled that the federal prohibition on direct interstate handgun purchases violates the Second Amendment under Bruen. In *Elite Precision Customs v. ATF*, the court found that purchasing firearms is protected conduct and that the federal government failed to establish a sufficient historical tradition supporting the ban.

DGU: He Came Back For Round Two… Then The Armed Homeowner Was Ready
(Colion): “A homeowner in Bertie County reportedly held a break-in suspect at gunpoint after deputies say the man was connected to another break-in on the same road the week before.
That detail matters.
Because when you see two counts of breaking and entering, two counts of larceny after breaking and entering, and two counts of possession of stolen goods, that usually tells you this was not just one bad decision.
This was somebody who found something that worked and decided to run it back.
The second trip is the one that got him caught.
And notice the time.
9:15 in the morning.
Not 2 a.m.
Not the middle of the night.
Morning.
That is when a lot of burglars operate because they are betting you are at work and the house is empty.
But this homeowner was home, armed, and paying attention.
The gun did its job without a single round leaving the barrel.
That is the part people should understand.
Self-defense is not always about firing.
Sometimes the gun gives a homeowner the ability to hold the line until deputies arrive, especially in a rural area where help may not be around the corner.
This video breaks down the Bertie County break-in, why the second trip got the suspect caught, why situational awareness mattered, why holding someone at gunpoint still has legal edges, and why the fight may not be over just because the cuffs came out.
The homeowner did not need the gun because he wanted to shoot.
He needed the gun because he was the only law at that address until deputies got there.”

“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty”
“You have a republic, if you can keep it.”
We have had the 2A for 250 years. You may not like the republican presidents who put pro 2A judges on the courts. For life.
Now try electing Brandon Herrera. Let him be the counter weight to the Leftists arguments in the congress.
And I’m sure he will say things that even gun owners don’t like. He does that already.
Staying involved is the only way things can get even better. Thank you president Trump.
Btw
I look forward to congressman Brandon Herrera using stories from this website, in his speeches in the congress. They go into the congressional record for ever. And are sesrchable for any school student.
