Appeals Court Upholds Florida’s Long Gun Purchase Ban

A U.S. appeals court reaffirms Florida’s 2018 law that prohibits individuals under 21 from purchasing long guns, rejecting a challenge by the National Rifle Association. This ruling comes two years after a similar decision by a three-judge panel, underscoring the law’s endurance since it was enacted following the tragic mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which claimed 17 lives.

Despite the court’s ruling, Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeier, previously Chief of Staff to Gov. Ron DeSantis, has indicated that his office will not defend the law if it is appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Uthmeier described the restriction as unconstitutional, echoing recent decisions from other courts, adding to the ongoing debate over gun rights and public safety in the state.
