RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A federal judge in Virginia has ruled that a law banning licensed federal firearms dealers from selling handguns to young adults under 21 violates the Second Amendment and is unconstitutional.The ruling Wednesday by U.S. District Court Judge Robert Payne in Richmond, if not overturned, would allow dealers to sell handguns to 18- to 20-year-olds.In his 71-page ruling, Payne wrote that many of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship are granted at the age of 18, including the right to vote, enlist in the military without parental permission and serve on a federal jury.“If the Court were to exclude 18-to-20-year-olds from the Second Amendment’s protection, it would impose limitations on the Second Amendment that do not exist with other constitutional guarantees,” Payne wrote. “Because the statutes and regulations in question are not consistent with our Nation’s history and tradition, they, therefore, cannot stand,” he wrote.

And for all the love and attention some of the bigger parks get, a report out from the Redstone Global Center for Prevention and Wellness at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health found too many of those smaller, neighborhood parks aren’t getting enough attention.“That ranking is based on the fact that we have a lot of green space, that we devote a lot of financial resources toward that green space, and the vast majority of Washingtonians live within a 10 minute walk of a park,” said Rachel Clark, the policy director at the Redstone Center.But she arg...
