The National Rifle Association (NRA) is challenging a Florida law that prohibits individuals under 21 from purchasing rifles, with a hearing set for October 22 at the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The law, enacted after the 2018 Parkland shooting, has faced scrutiny, as lower courts upheld its constitutionality, but the full appeals court will now review it en banc. The NRA argues that the law violates the Second Amendment and fails to align with the historical context established by the 2022 Supreme Court ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. They contend that young adults, defined as 18 and older, are legally recognized in various capacities such as voting and military service, yet are barred from purchasing firearms. Conversely, Florida's attorneys assert that the law is consistent with historical firearm regulations, allowing under-21 individuals to possess guns under certain conditions. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for gun regulations in Florida and potentially nationwide.
