Richmond, VA – In a major reversal for gun rights advocates, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the federal ban on handgun sales by licensed dealers to adults under 21 is constitutional, effectively shutting down a key legal challenge backed by the Second Amendment Foundation.
The case, Fraser v. ATF, involved four young men between the ages of 18 and 20 who argued that their Second Amendment rights were violated when they were blocked from purchasing handguns from licensed gun shops. In 2023, Federal District Judge Robert Payne previously agreed, issuing a sweeping decision that said the ban went too far, especially after the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision made history and tradition the new test for gun laws.
But the Fourth Circuit didn’t see it that way.
