DOJ won't enforce handgun ban for 18- to 20-year-olds

The Justice Department announced it will not criminally enforce a 1968 federal law that bans licensed firearms dealers from selling handguns to adults aged 18 to 20, after its Office of Legal Counsel concluded the restriction violates the Second Amendment. The department determined that the ban on handgun sales to this age group is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced.
