BIG 2nd Amendment Court Victory in Texas

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% :District Court Judge Mark Pittman stated that the Texas restriction on "law-abiding 18-to-20-year-olds" is inconsistent with the Constitution because the Second Amendment itself does not state an age restriction, and minors were part of state militias that existed in the formative years of American history.
59% : U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman wrote that the Second Amendment does not specify an age limit and protects adults under 21 years old.
53% : "Based on the Second Amendment's text, as informed by Founding-Era history and tradition, the court concludes that the Second Amendment protects against this prohibition," Pittman wrote in the ruling.
