Trump Judge Expands Gun Rights. Conservatives Cheer While Liberals Scream in Anger
With all the radical left-wing garbage Joe Biden is pushing these days, positive news like this is a breath of fresh air.
2nd Amendment Advocates are celebrating this recent win – and the victory occurred in court thanks to a Federal Judge appointed by Donald Trump.
Here’s what happened:
A 53-year-old law preventing federally licensed firearms dealers from selling handguns or handgun ammunition to adults under the age of 21 is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
A divided panel on the Richmond, Va.-based Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a Virginia federal judge’s ruling upholding the federal Gun Control Act of 1968.
“When do constitutional rights vest? At 18 or 21? 16 or 25? Why not 13 or 33?” asked US Circuit Judge Julius Richardson in his ruling. “In the law, a line must sometimes be drawn. But there must be a reason why constitutional rights cannot be enjoyed until a certain age. Our nation’s most cherished constitutional rights vest no later than 18. And the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms is no different.”
Richardson, who was appointed to the bench by former President Donald Trump, went on to note that 18-to-20-year-olds “enjoy almost every other constitutional right, and they were required at the time of the Founding to serve in the militia and furnish their own weapons … Despite the weighty interest in reducing crime and violence, we refuse to relegate either the Second Amendment or 18- to 20-year-olds to a second-class status.”

Young people 18, 19, and 20 years old can thank Natalia Marshall for this change in the law. She is a 19-year-old student at the University of Virginia and thought she should have the right to own a handgun as protection against an abusive ex-boyfriend.
Liberals are furious as you can imagine. Democrats are always trying to restrict the 2nd Amendment. Many would erase the 2nd Amendment from the constitution if they could.
The Left will continue to work on taking your guns away.
So if you’re 18 or 19, you can now protect yourself – thanks to a college student named Natalie, former President Trump, and Judge Julius Richardson.
You now can buy a handgun from a licensed dealer.
Enjoy this while you can. The Democrats will likely challenge this decision in court.
