Now, The ATF wants to throw out the lawsuit because the ATF claims that D'cruz is only forbidden from buying a gun from a federally-licensed gun dealer. Further, D'cruz is "free to obtain handguns in a variety of legal ways and from a variety of legal sources." (As of December 23rd)

Really?

Can't wait to see what the judge does. Trying to find the case on the court web site, but it's not available.

So did they say in what ways he could legally purchase a handgun?

Regardless of age, those serving in the military should have all of the rights and privileges of a U.S. citizen.

Maybe we need a Constitutional amendment stating, "Upon attaining the age of majority a person may not be restricted of any rights and privileges as a citizen due to age".

How would social security retirement work then? It creates a special class of privileges by age.

Yes and No. A person 12 years of age can draw Social Security, but at the age of 12 they are not eligible to retire. This is Federal not Constitutional

The age that was in question was pertaining to the 2nd amendment, which is the age of majority.
The BATF passed the law stating that a person under 21 could not buy a handgun or handgun ammunition. This is of Federal jurisdiction and usurps the authority of the 2nd amendment.
I will even go farther and guess that due to the BATF requirement to be 21 is why Texas Concealed Carry is written the way it is and has a loophole for the Military.
That’s my opinion and you know what they say about that.
