New York Governor Kathy Hochul says no teenager should be allowed to purchase a handgun—even after the Department of Justice argued that denying firearm rights to adults ages 18–20 violates the Constitution.

Mark Walters and Andy Hooser break down Hochul’s defiance, the double standard surrounding adulthood and constitutional rights, and why the Second Amendment cannot be treated as a second-class right. If Americans can vote, serve on juries, enter contracts and fight for their country at 18, can government selectively deny them the right to keep and bear arms?

Mark and Andy also examine Chicago’s staggering shooting and homicide numbers, expose the political spin surrounding “gun violence,” preview the Gun Rights Policy Conference and explain why the 2026 midterms could determine whether recent pro-Second Amendment victories become lasting federal law.
