The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case involving a Minnesota law restricting gun rights on 18-to-20 year olds.
This effectively allows those in that age group to buy and own firearms.
According to USA Today:
WASHINGTON −The Supreme Court on Monday declined to get involved in the ongoing debate about age restrictions for weapons, despite pleas from both Minnesota and the gun rights groups that successfully challenged Minnesota’s age limit on handgun permits.
The court declined to review an appeals court’s decision that Minnesota’s law violates the Second Amendment rights of 18-to-20-year-olds.
Minnesota had restricted permits to carry handguns in public for self-defense to people age 21 or older.
That was challenged by gun rights groups which have filed similar lawsuits in Georgia, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
