The National Rifle Association contends that a new court ruling bolsters its constitutional challenge to a Florida measure that bars people under age 21 from buying rifles and shotguns.
The NRA on Monday filed a document at the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that cited a ruling last week by another federal appeals court in a Louisiana case. That ruling by a panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said a decades-old federal ban on selling handguns to people under 21 violates the Second Amendment.
Both cases have played out as the U.S. Supreme Court in recent years has issued closely watched decisions that said gun laws need to be consistent with the nation’s “historical tradition” of gun regulation. A key question in the Florida and Louisiana cases has centered on how the Supreme Court decisions should be applied to bans on gun sales to people under age 21.

Jesse Ventura had a video about this.......You can go fight a war for your country at 17, using what ever weapon is in the armory but you can't buy a beer. Voting age is 18 but you can't buy a handgun.
