A lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Charlottesville wants to make it legal for people between 18 and 21 to buy handguns and ammunition from federal firearms licensed dealers, claiming the restriction violates the Second and Fifth amendments. The suit was filed on behalf of 20-year-old University of Virginia student Tanner Hirschfeld and 18-year-old Albemarle County resident Natalia Marshall. Both tried to purchase handguns from Charlottesville-area handgun dealers and were denied the purchase because of their ages. |

Give'em an inch, they'll take a mile.The People of America have never authorized anyone to destroy their Bill of Rights, The Peoples' Rights. Persons of little character, or honor continually seek to undermine our Constitutional form of government. Citizens must demand that all public officials be bound by the chains of the Constitution. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
