On Friday, September 18, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel published an opinion: the 1968 federal ban that stops licensed dealers from selling handguns to law-abiding adults ages 18 to 20 violates the Second Amendment and cannot be criminally enforced. On Saturday at 7:05 a.m. Pacific Time, Eric Daugherty circulated the announcement with a short video. By night that post showed about 5,750 likes and 210,000 views.
9月18日周五，司法部法律顾问办公室公布意见：1968年那条禁止持牌经销商把手枪卖给守法的18至20岁成人的联邦令，违反第二修正案，不得再按这条去刑事追究。周六美西时间上午7时05分，埃里克·多尔蒂转发并配短片。夜间约5750赞、21万浏览。

The memo is signed by Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser. It covers 18 U.S.C. § 922(b)(1) and (c)(1). His line, quoted by DOJ: eighteen-year-olds may vote, sit on a jury, be drafted, and face adult penalties including death. The Department “may not constitutionally seek to impose criminal penalties on dealers who sell handguns to law-abiding adults who, in nearly every other relevant respect, are members of the political community.”
意见由助理司法部长盖泽尔签署，针对联邦法典第922条(b)(1)、(c)(1)。司法部引他的话：十八岁可以投票、当陪审员、被征兵、按成人刑罚包括死刑受罚。部里“不得合宪地对把手枪卖给守法成人的经销商施加刑事处罚——这些人在几乎所有其他方面都是政治共同体的成员。”
This is not a Supreme Court strike-down. The statute is still on the books. An OLC opinion binds the executive branch. It does not erase the law or tie every judge. What it does is take the federal prosecutor off that particular sale. Whether ATF can still use administrative tools is not settled in the same memo. The under-18 ban, background checks, and other prohibited-person rules are left in place.
这不是最高法院废法。条文还在本上。OLC意见约束行政部门，不删法、不绑死每个法官。它做的是：联邦检察官不再拿这笔买卖去定罪。烟酒枪械局还能不能用行政手段卡，同一份意见没写死。不满18岁的禁令、背景审查、其他禁止持枪人群，不动。
Circuits were already split. The Fifth, Third, and Eighth have struck similar age limits. The Fourth, Tenth, and Eleventh have upheld them. This summer the Supreme Court declined several petitions on the same question.
巡回法院本来就打架。第五、第三、第八巡回打过同类年龄限。第四、第十、第十一巡回维持过。今年夏天最高法院拒审相关案。

六四天网认为：
This is the Trump administration putting a right back in the people’s hands. An 18-year-old can be sent to a ship or a jury box. He can be asked to die for the country. He can cast the vote that picks the president. Then a 1968 line told the licensed shop: do not sell him the common pistol used to defend a house. That is not common sense. That is a paper wall between adulthood and the Amendment.
这是川普政府把权利交回人民手里。十八岁能被送上船、送进陪审席。能被要求为国家去死。能投下选总统的那一票。然后1968年的一行字告诉持牌店：别把家里常用的那支手枪卖给他。这不是常识。这是把成年和第二修正案隔开的纸墙。
The Justice Department did not invent a new right. It stopped prosecuting a ban the text does not support. Shall not be infringed is not a suggestion for people over 21. Dealers should read the memo, keep the background check, and treat a law-abiding 18-year-old as what the Constitution already calls him: one of the people.
司法部没有发明新权利。它停止追究一条正文撑不住的禁令。“不得侵犯”不是给21岁以上的人听的建议。店家读意见、做背景审查，把守法的18岁当宪法已经写明的那种人：人民中的一员。
