I don't think that being able to by from a FFL is the only issue here. What good is a handgun if you can't use legally use it? Lowering the age to 18 to get a handgun would do two things: 1) increase revenue for the state, because that would mean that many more people getting their CHLs, and 2) increase the effectiveness of the campus carry, because more responsible students would be asserting their 2A rights, and making sure the campus is safe.

I don't like having to use the court to legislate things, either. It should be the last resort, yes. But, sometimes, with the obliviots, you have to regulate things like common sense. That's why we have this texting while driving legislation coming down this next session.

Did a little checking, and the "Brady Bunch" pulled the amicus brief. Seems it was all over the place like an ADD kid in a toy store. The funny thing is, they then filed the exact same brief in a lawsuit in Noo Yawk.

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.

Forgot one statistic....

You can apply for emancipation status from your parents at the age of 16, as long as you 1) Live in , 2)You must be living separate from your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) (however, although this is a requirement if you are 16 years-old, this is not a requirement if you are 17 years-old, but is helpful in proving your case). 3). You must be self-supporting and managing your own financial affairs. 4). You must be able to prove that having your parents no longer be legally and financially responsible for you is in your best interests.

Yesterday, the BATFE just filed an amici curiae from (hang on, this could take a while):Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Graduate Center and Student Government of the University of Texas at Austin, Mothers Against Teen Violence, Students For Gun Free Schools in Texas and Texas Chapters of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
