WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court (click here) has turned down a pair of 2nd Amendment appeals lodged by the National Rifle Assn., keeping in place laws that restrict those under 21 years old from buying or carrying a handgun.
Without comment, the
justices dismissed claims by NRA attorneys who argued limits on those
who are 18 to 20 infringe the “fundamental right” to have firearms for
self-defense.
In one case, the court refused to hear a challenge to a 1968 federal law that bars federally licensed gun dealers from selling handguns to those who are under 21. Sales of shotguns or rifles are permitted to those who are 18 or older, however....
Clement is the only one who will take these cases. Not an ounce of sense in his head. Isn't 18 years old just close enough to high school to be worried? No, there should not be any worries, every 18 year old with a gun has a halo over his head.
Now, take Bieber, there is fine example pf a trust worthy 20 year old. What do courts know anyway, right?
...Former U.S. Solicitor Gen. Paul D. Clement filed one of the appeals on behalf of the NRA. He argued that gun owners are facing “massive resistance” in the courts when they assert their rights under the 2nd Amendment. “It is unthinkable that a court would allow Congress to declare law-abiding individuals in the first years of their legal majority too ‘irresponsible’ to be entrusted with First Amendment rights,” he said. He urged the court not to allow “this fundamental right [to] be relegated to second-class status.”...
