Two really important points in his ruling.

1. When framers meant to specify age they did.

"“To start, the Second Amendment does not mention any sort of age restriction. This absence is notable—when the Framers meant to impose age restrictions, they did so expressly,” he wrote."

2. He officially recognizes that the term militia meant all able-bodied people in the country. This is huge because the militia wording is often used by anti second amendment people to suggest that it means only some organized group that is organized officially by the state.

"Even when focusing on the term “militia,” Pittman said the Texas law violates the intent of the Founders.

“[A]t the Founding, the ‘militia’ was generally understood to be comprised of “all able-bodied men,” which included 18-to-20-year-olds, he wrote, adding, “Thus, the undisputed historical evidence establishes that 18-to-20-year-olds were understood to be a part of the militia in the Founding Era.”

And in reality, any foolish attempt to restrict any group from firearms, has NEVER 'restricted' a single criminal because they do not give a single fuck about laws.
