A Federal Appeal Court On Thursday, it ruled a ban on the country's level of unconstitutional pistol sales.
A committee of three judges from the Court of Appeal in the Fifth US Department of New Orleans has found a federal law prohibiting adults between the ages of 18 and 20 years of purchasing pistols violating the second amendment. This ruling comes as the main firearms regulations were extinguished throughout the country after the Supreme Court’s decision, which expanded the weapons rights in 2022.
“Ultimately, the text of the second amendment from eighteen to twenty years of age includes” persons “who protects their right to preserve weapons,” says court's opinion. The decision refers to the case to the minimum judge.
