SAF Lawsuit Challenges Under 21 Handgun Ban in Connecticut

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging Connecticut’s ban on adults under the age of 21 from purchasing, owning or carrying handguns.

“Second Amendment rights cannot be withheld from peaceable adults based on their age,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “To do so would relegate the amendment’s guarantees to second-class status, which offends the very notion of the Constitution’s premise. Our nation’s history and tradition does not support this ‘Second Amendment lite’ version being offered to 18-20-year-olds in Connecticut. This lawsuit seeks to vindicate the rights of those individuals who are being unlawfully discriminated against based solely on their age.” Read more

Heckler & Koch USA announces the availability of MR556 A4 upper receiver kits for sale at HK dealers nationwide. The MR556 kits are available in 11” and 16” barrel lengths and carry the same lifetime barrel wear warranty as a complete MR A4 rifle.
