Appeals courts are split on whether the government may restrict 18- to 20-year-olds from buying or carrying guns, and the Supreme Court will <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/search.aspx?filename=\/docket\/docketfiles\/html\/public\/24-782.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">consider next week<\/a> whether to hear one of those cases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">You might expect the differing views on the lower courts to divide along predictable lines, with judges appointed by Republicans on one side and those appointed by Democrats on the other. But this is an issue that has created a rift among conservative judges committed to unearthing the original meaning of the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last month, for instance, Judge William H. Pryor Jr. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/media.ca11.uscourts.gov\/opinions\/pub\/files\/202112314.enb.op.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">wrote the majority opinion<\/a> for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in Atlanta, in an 8-to-4 decision upholding a Florida law that prohibits the sale of firearms to people under 21.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">No one doubts that Judge Pryor is a conservative. He was on President Trump\u2019s short list in 2017 to fill the vacancy created by <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/02\/14\/us\/antonin-scalia-death.html\" title=\"\">the death of Justice Antonin Scalia<\/a>. The conventional wisdom was that Judge Pryor would face a tough confirmation battle \u2014 because he was too far to the right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPryor has done more for the cause than anyone else in the country,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/02\/06\/us\/politics\/neil-gorsuch-trump-supreme-court-nominee.html\" title=\"\">a White House official said<\/a> at the time. \u201cBut the politics are really tough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Judge Pryor\u2019s supporters said he would not waver or evolve. \u201cHe has a real titanium spine in terms of doing the right thing,\u201d an official of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative group, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/11\/15\/us\/politics\/trump-supreme-court-justices.html\" title=\"\">said of the judge<\/a> in 2017.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That same year, Nikolas Cruz, then 18, legally bought a semiautomatic rifle from a Florida gun store. A year later, he used it to kill 17 people and wound 17 others at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Florida lawmakers responded by enacting the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, which made it a crime for people under 21 to buy guns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the years that followed, the Supreme Court transformed Second Amendment law, introducing a new test to judge the constitutionality of gun control measures. As Justice Clarence Thomas put it in his 2022 majority opinion in <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/21pdf\/20-843_7j80.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">New York State Rifle &amp; Pistol Association v. Bruen<\/a>, such laws must be struck down unless they are \u201cconsistent with this nation\u2019s historical tradition of firearm regulation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In last month\u2019s opinion, Judge Pryor examined the historical evidence and found that people under 21 were considered to be minors when the Constitution was adopted. He said he drew two lessons from that fact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cFirst, minors generally could not purchase firearms because they lacked the judgment and discretion to enter contracts and to receive the wages of their labor,\u201d Judge Pryor wrote. \u201cSecond, minors were subject to the power of their parents and depended on their parents\u2019 consent to exercise rights and deal with others in society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18 in 1971. But that modern move does not illuminate the Constitution\u2019s original meaning, Judge Pryor wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Seven judges joined Judge Pryor\u2019s opinion, two of them appointed by Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The four dissenters were all appointed by Mr. Trump. Judge Andrew L. Brasher, who had served as a law clerk to Judge Pryor, wrote that the legal age for adulthood when the Second Amendment was adopted was irrelevant. What matters, he wrote, is whether 18-year-olds are considered adults today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe founders adopted a Second Amendment that applies across changes in law, society and technology,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Judge Pryor responded that the original meaning of the Second Amendment was fixed at the time it was adopted. Judge Brasher\u2019s dissent, he wrote, \u201cwould have us hold that the Second Amendment turns on an evolving standard of adulthood that is divorced from the text of the amendment and from our regulatory tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The case that the Supreme Court <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/search.aspx?filename=\/docket\/docketfiles\/html\/public\/24-782.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">will soon decide whether to hear<\/a> involves a Minnesota law that makes it a crime for people under 21 to carry guns in public. Last year, the Eighth Circuit <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/media.ca8.uscourts.gov\/opndir\/24\/07\/232248P.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">struck down the law<\/a>, ruling that the Second Amendment required letting those as young as 18 be armed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe Second Amendment\u2019s plain text does not have an age limit,\u201d wrote Judge Duane Benton, who was appointed by President George W. Bush. He, too, relied on the 26th Amendment, saying that it \u201cunambiguously places 18- to 20-year-olds within the national political community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Joseph Blocher, a law professor at Duke and an authority on the Second Amendment, said there were at least two notable things about those dueling opinions, as well as ones addressing similar issues from the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/firearmslaw.duke.edu\/2024\/02\/litigation-highlight-third-circuit-strikes-down-pennsylvania-age-restriction-on-public-carry-during-a-state-of-emergency\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Third<\/a>, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/federal\/appellate-courts\/ca5\/23-30033\/23-30033-2025-01-30.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Fifth<\/a> and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/firearmslaw.duke.edu\/2024\/11\/litigation-highlight-tenth-circuit-panel-upholds-colorado-minimum-age-to-purchase-law\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">10th<\/a> Circuits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One is that \u201cthese weren\u2019t the Second Amendment cases that people expected to be queued up for Supreme Court review.\u201d Most observers, he said, have been paying more attention to other open questions, like whether felons and drug users can be disarmed and whether states may ban high-powered rifles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another, he said, is that the test announced in 2022 in Bruen \u201cis still proving incredibly difficult for judges to apply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEven judges who are devoted to an originalist approach,\u201d he added, \u201care finding themselves in very different places in terms of the constitutionality of these laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/07\/us\/politics\/courts-guns-teenagers.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next big Second Amendment case may concern teenagers.
