I'm 19, national guard, heading to Afghanistan within the next year, have I not earned my 2nd amendment right? I can actually get a conceal license, but can't buy a handgun except through private trade. Why can't I go to a gun store and buy one like a normal voting adult? I can't drink a beer with my dad before I go and now I have to ask him if I can borrow his handguns?

Former gun dealer here.
The phrasing is not necessarily correct.
Legally, from an FFL, you may not purchase a Hand gun (Pistol, Revolver, or Derringer). You are allowed to purchase a long gun (Shotgun or Rifle). Additionally, you may not purchase ammunition of hand guns.
Here's the actual court ruling

Do I agree with it? No. Is it consistent with previous SCOTUS Rulings regarding Public Safety and 18-20 year olds? Yes.

Yeah it's bullshit. You just have to be patient like the rest of us. Or start voting better.
