Law banning gun sales for adults under 21 unconstitutional: Appeals court

[craig nigrelli]

A KEY RULING TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS MORNING PITTING SECOND AMENDMENT ADVOCATES VERSUS SUPPORTERS OF TOUGHER GUN CONTROL LAWS.

A U.S. APPEALS COURT HAS RULED AGAINST A decades-old FEDERAL LAW THAT requires A PROSPECTIVE GUN OWNER, BE 21-YEARS-OLD IN ORDER TO BUY A GUN.

THE 5-TH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS IN NEW ORLEANS, FOUND THAT SUCH A LAW VIOLATES THE SECOND AMENDMENT following a 2022 U-S SUPREME COURT RULING which EXPANDED GUN RIGHTS.

THE appeals COURT FOUND THAT THAT PEOPLE between the AGEs of 18 and 20 SHOULD NOT BE PROHIBITED FROM BUYING GUNS, SAYING THAT AGE GROUP HAS THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.

ACCORDING TO THE ORGANIZATION ” EVERYTOWN RESEARCH AND POLICY”,

FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES A PERSON TO BE 21 TO BUY A HANDGUN FROM A LICENSED DEALER AND 18 TO BUY A LONG GUN.

THERE IS AN 18-YEAR-OLD MINIMUM FOR HANDGUN PURCHASES FROM UNLICENSED DEALERS AND NO MINIMUM AGE FOR LONG GUNS.

MANY STATES HAVE RAISED THE AGE, BARRING HANDGUN SALES TO PEOPLE UNDER 21 AND LONG GUN SALES TO THOSE UNDER 18, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PURCHASE IS FROM A DEALER OR UNLICENSED SELLER.
