SCOTUS Declines To Hear Case On Gun Age Restrictions

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.

Run By Idiots

Earlier this morning, I posted the following photo of vintage/antique Winchester rifles at the Facebook page, Winchester Pre-64 Rifle & Shotgun Collectors Group (1964):

These rifles are on display at the Billy the Kid Museum in Fort Sumner, New Mexico and the post was labeled as such.

The post received a lot of likes by the members. I had posted another photo of other Winchesters the day before and, as of now, it has generated no problems.

I received notice that the post was removed and I was put on a limited restriction until tomorrow morning. 

Naturally, I appealed this and they refused to restore the post.

No buying, selling or exchange of the rifles shown were taking place or even an hint of such. They must have morons working at Facebook's headquarters.

I then filed an appeal with the "independent" Oversight Board:

I doubt that anything good will come of this, but we must fight back on ridiculous Facebook decisions.
