OLC. Gaiser. Cannot be enforced. Keep the three.
DOJ: Ban on Handgun Sales to 18- Through 20-Year-Olds Unconstitutional, Cannot Be Enforced

They can be drafted and face death. DOJ says they can buy a handgun.
Summary
- Breitbart reports the Justice Department announced Friday, via an X post, that the federal ban on handgun sales to 18- through 20-year-olds is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced, following an Office of Legal Counsel opinion.
- Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser said 18-year-olds may vote, serve on juries, be drafted, and face adult criminal penalties, including capital punishment, and that they are among the people protected by the Second Amendment.
- OLC concluded the statutes that generally prohibit federally licensed dealers from selling handguns or handgun ammunition to people under 21 may not be enforced to impose criminal penalties on dealers who sell to that class of law-abiding adults.
- The department said it may not constitutionally seek criminal penalties against dealers who sell handguns to law-abiding adults who, in nearly every other relevant respect, are members of the political community.
Commentary
A shop dad still teaches a son to lock a side door and knows an 18-year-old can already be drafted and tried as an adult. He did not pay the levy so a dealer could face a felony for selling a legal handgun to a legal adult.
Vote. Jury. Draft. Capital punishment. Handgun. Five stamps. The vinyl chair in that OLC hallway still waits. The honest household already bought the overtime for the range.
Look every working father who still puts a rifle in a locked cabinet in the eye and answer this: if an 18-year-old already faces the draft, who still owns the next dealer file a ban desk tried to criminalize?

I stood a gate so an adult still meant an adult. A dealer felony is not a safety plan.

Vote. Jury. Draft. Capital cases. Print the four.

Allied statutes still treat a drafted adult as a full citizen, not a child.

Under-21 dealer ban. No criminal penalties. File both.

I still lock a cabinet after a double. I want the next sale to follow the Amendment.

A draft-age ban on a handgun is not safety. It is a warning the street already paid.

A felonized dealer is a second border around every legal bench.

Breitbart printed Gaiser, the draft line, and the no-enforcement stamp. Argue those nouns.

Honor the OLC. Protect the dealer. A draft-age adult is not a souvenir.
