Trying to actually find anything about it but it sounds like the 4th Circuit ruled in favor of the plaintiff in Hirschfeld vs ATF saying that the ban on handgun sales to individuals 18-20 years old was unconstitutional.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but Rights should be consistent. Any bill that restricts firearm ownership to 21 must also restrict voting to 21. Any bill that lowers the voting age to 16 must also lower the age to purchase firearms to 16. Hell, if you can vote by mail, you can buy guns by mail. Don't want to allow people to buy guns through the mail, well, then you can't vote by mail either.
Federal Court Rules Under-21 Gun Bans Are Unconstitutional

Well that's some good news. Hopefully these small steps turn into large ones and then great strides.
This is the way we should have been playing it all along.. its the way the antis have been playing for decades. Take a small part of the cake little by little.. but our side has always been oh shall not be infringed if the court case isn't 100% that then why bother fuck that... when we should have been doing small wins (even me as a 2a absolutist know that's the only chance we have/had)

Also keep in mind if a kid gets a gun at 18 he or she is much less set in their ways. If you make it 21 there’s a good chance they likely will not buy one. I’m not sure if there is any research or not but that’s my thought from my small little brain.

Yes, NY will probably see this and say, "OH yeah? Unconstitutional? Watch us raise it to 75!"
