BATON ROUGE, La. β A U.S. appeals court on Thursday ruled against a federal law requiring young adults to be 21 to buy handguns, finding it violated the Second Amendment.
The ruling, handed down by a panel of three judges on the conservative U.S. 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, comes amid major shifts in the national firearm legal landscape following a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that expanded gun rights in 2022.
The court found that people aged 18-to-20 should not be prohibited from buying guns.
βUltimately, the text of the Second Amendment includes eighteen-to-twenty-year-old individuals among βthe peopleβ whose right to keep and bear arms is protected,β the court wrote in their ruling. The ruling sends the case back to a lower court judge.
