USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- According to the gun grabbers, 18 to 20-year-olds shouldn’t be carrying a gun. Unless, of course, those young adults are protecting the freedom of the “rights for me but not for thee” crowd. Then they don’t mind.
In other words, young adults can go to war and risk their lives, but when they come home, the political left would prefer they remain unarmed and helpless. According to the left, 16-year-olds should be able to vote, and five-year-olds are responsible enough to change their gender, as if that’s even possible, but a 20-year-old adult is not responsible enough to carry a gun. Somehow that’s the twisted logic that they’re able to conjure up in their collective thought process.
A Texas judge, in a decision on a case brought by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has decided that Auntie Karen and her gun-grabbing, ballot-harvesting groomers will have nothing to say about the matter.
Judge Clarence Thomas’s reference to “historical tradition” in his recent Bruen case decision appears to be paying dividends to Second Amendment advocates.
In this latest ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Mark T. Pittman, a Donald Trump appointee, wrote, “The issue is whether prohibiting law-abiding 18-to-20-year-olds from carrying a handgun in public for self-defense is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. Based on the Second Amendment’s text, as informed by Founding-Era history and tradition, the Court concludes that the Second Amendment protects against this prohibition. Texas’s statutory scheme must therefore be enjoined to the extent that law-abiding 18-to-20-year-olds are prohibited from applying for a license to carry a handgun.”
Although gun grabber David Pucino, the Chief Deputy Counsel at the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, is having a meltdown over the decision, Cody J. Wisniewski, an attorney for Constitutional Litigation with the Firearms Policy Coalition, sees this decision as a success.
Giffords’ Pucino seems to be desperately clinging to a fifth Circuit decision from 2013 that prevented the purchase of guns by anyone under 21 in the hope that it be recognized as precedence, overruling the Second Amendment.
While FPC’s Wisniewski said, “This decision is a significant victory for the rights of young adults in Texas and demonstrates for the rest of the nation that similar bans cannot withstand constitutional challenges grounded in history.”
Judge Pittman’s ruling explained that other Amendments in the Bill of Rights, including the First and Fourth amendments, which refer to “the people,” do not exclude young adults ages 18-20. Therefore, he said, “the Court declines to read an implicit age restriction into the Second Amendment.”
According to the Texas Tribune, the order is stayed for 30 days, pending an almost certain appeal. Thanks to President Obama for leaving an abundance of open court seats, President Trump was able to fill 300 of those vacancies with Justices who recognize the validity of the 2nd Amendment. Another decision now paying dividends. So let the gun grabbers kick and scream. Real Americans are winning the ideological battle. The tides are turning, and it would appear that this case will add to the momentum that was started by heller and continued with the McDonald and Bruen cases.
Sorry, Karen, your irrational gun fear doesn’t override the rights of “we the people,” even if we don’t meet your fabricated age requirement.
The 2nd Amendment is not a privilege. It’s your right.

I carried a gun at the age of 13 and never shot anyone and I am 80 now
I’m 75 and remember taking my rifle to school on the bus for our rifle team, oh for the HA, HA, HA, OLD DAYS!!!!!!!!
Believe it or not, high school rifle team members were permitted to do the same in NYC, fifty two and more years ago.
It was not all that unusual for a school to have a smallbore rifle range on campus, typically in the gymnasium basement.
Nowadays people go into panic attacks and schools into lock down when someone gets a glimpse of a furled umbrella on campus.
What happens when ‘we’ look back 50 years from now…til now, and say…”the good ole days”… That’s scary.
Well, the best we have now is, my kids school has a “squirrel bowl”… All the kids take liberal (excuse the term) leave for the day before opening day of squirrel season…..I think there’s a football game in there somewhere, too.
I had my own gun at 11 and carried it fishing all the time. Trained and supervised by Dad and common sense. Now at 76 I find it appalling how unprepared our Youth are for almost anything! But as a Decorated Vietnam Era Vet…I totally respect our under 21 Military. Why on “God’s Earth” shouldn’t they be allowed to carry a gun?…….
Thanks Dan for a great article , made me laugh . Your descriptions of the left gun grabbers is perfect . Auntie Karen made me laugh and a David Pacino meltdown is awsome . It triggered AZ Lefty to melt down in the comments also . Great stuff thanks for the laugh .
Thank you. Lefties are easy to trigger.
Strike up another win. If this doesn’t inspire you folks who allow yourself to be dominated by the left because you mistakenly believe that your vote doesn’t count, to get up and participate again and help the good guys take back our Liberties, then eat your gun and be done with it. We’re winning and it’s making the commie bastards get triggered and go even Bat shit crazier than they are as the resident commie troll just illustrated in post #1. This battle is just getting going, we need all hands on deck, you heard Brandon yesterday say he’s coming… Read more »
Sounds good to me!
Either a citizen is an adult at 18 years of age and subject to all the rights and privileges of an adult (legal, constitutional, and historical), or they are a minor until 21 subject to all laws restricting minors.
Adult citizens aged 18-20 are NOT second class citizens no matter how many “laws” are foisted upon them forcing them into a legal quagmire.
Thank you.
Dan summarized the so far positive state of civilian gun rights among the vast majority of states. But there are still stubborn, implacable venues, hellbent to, not only take away civilian guns, but annul the Second Amendment. These antis will give no quarter to ordinary zhlubs having anything less than the most restricted firearms regulations, witnessed by the NY and NJ reaction to SCOTUS’s Bruen ruling. Don’t discount the obstinacy of NY, NJ, CA, MD and some other states pushing the envelope in Congress to upend our rights.
Yeah, ya done good Dan.
Dan the Man.
Thank you!
Article reads like it was written by a 5 year old
Perhaps he was writing it so you could understand it. Maybe you should get down on your knees and thank him for doing you such a kind favor…
He’s a troll and a clown yet good at neither. This site needs a mute button as there is no point wasting time reading such intellectually vapid drivel. There is already enough garbage in the comments section that I rarely bother to scan through the posts anymore. If they are going to leave in the blatant trolls and our usual mentality handicapped crowd, my time is valuable and I have better things to do.
I don’t see a second post, but just wait until I’m dead in the ground, my vote will count for three or four to the DNC column.
The only 5 year old throwing a tantrum here is you
Or, do you just read and think like a 5 year old????
Why don’t you entertain us and submit an article of your own instead of shitting on someone else’s work? Maybe you’ll appreciate what some of the contributors have to deal with.
I’ll use bigger words next time. Study up Buttercup.
You read like you were written by 5 year old.
