Court Upholds Youth Gun Ban, Influencing Supreme Court

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit recently upheld Florida’s law prohibiting 18 to 20-year-olds from purchasing firearms, creating a significant shift in the legal landscape surrounding youth gun restrictions. Authored by Chief Judge William Pryor, a prominent conservative jurist appointed by George W. Bush, the ruling is based on a detailed historical interpretation that frames the ban as consistent with the Second Amendment and America’s founding principles.

This ruling stands out amidst a growing trend of appeals courts striking down similar laws, as it highlights the dangers posed by young firearm ownership, backed by data revealing that individuals under 21 are disproportionately involved in gun homicides. With at least 22 states enforcing age restrictions on gun purchases, this legal development may provide compelling evidence for the Supreme Court justices as they consider the constitutionality of youth gun bans, significantly affecting firearm regulations nationwide.
