Appeals court validates Florida 21-year age limit for buying guns in NRA suit

The United States Court of Appeals For the Eleventh Circuit A U.S. appeals court upheld a Florida law that outlaws people under the legal age of 21 from purchasing a gun, rejecting a challenge by the National Rifle Association. A unanimous panel of judges from the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that "Florida enacted the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act-as its name indicates-for precisely the same reason as states in the Reconstruction Era adopted their firearm restrictions for 18-to-20-year-olds-to address the public-safety crisis some 18-to-20-year-olds with firearms represent. Because Florida’s Act is at least as modest as the firearm prohibitions on 18-to-20-year-olds in the Reconstruction Era and enacted for the same reason as those laws, it is "relevantly similar" to those Reconstruction Era laws. Bruen, 142 S. Ct. at 2132. And as a result, it does not violate the Second Amendment. We therefore affirm the district court’s order granting summary judgment in Florida’s favor."
