Constitutional attorney explains why Florida Age-based Gun Ban is illegal

This video features a constitutional attorney, Mark W. Smith, analyzing the Second Amendment's implications for Florida's age-based gun ban, which prohibits 18-20 year olds from purchasing firearms. The ban, enacted after the Parkland shooting, was upheld by a lower federal court but is now under appeal at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. The attorney argues that the Second Amendment's text, historical context including the Militia Act of 1792, and the general status of 18-year-olds as adults (able to serve in the military) all support the right of this age group to bear arms. He highlights the inconsistency of allowing 18-year-olds to fight and die for the country while denying them the right to buy a gun, and refutes the argument that this age group is inherently more violent.
