A federal judge has upheld a California law that restricts young adults from buying guns, finding that the statute fits within the nation’s historical tradition of gun regulations.
California penal code Section 27510 bars federal gun dealers from selling or otherwise giving possession of guns to people younger than age 21. The law does allow 18- to 20-year-olds to buy certain types of guns if they obtain a hunting license, are serving in the military, or were honorably discharged from the armed forces.
