The Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel has issued a significant legal opinion today. It addresses the current federal rules that prevent licensed dealers from selling handguns to individuals aged 18 to 20. According to this opinion, these restrictions may not be enforceable because they are inconsistent with the Second Amendment. This document could have major implications for how handgun sales are regulated in the United States going forward.
