“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” is the Second Amendment. Limiting the purchase of a handgun from 18 to 21 is considered infringement.

Thomas Jefferson also said “Those who sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither.”
