Federal and State Gun Control Proponents Cite Rahimi in Support of Age and Location Limits and 3D-Printing Bans American Military News
—
The U.S. Department of Justice has cited the Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Zackey Rahimi to argue in favor of continuing to block access to handguns for people between 18 and 21 years old.
The gun rights groups, including the Firearms Policy Coalition, the Second Amendment Foundation, the Louisiana Shooting Association and two individuals under the age of 21 seeking to purchase handguns, have challenged the federal prohibitions on access to handguns for adults under the age of 21. The plaintiffs began challenging these federal limits in 2020, and the case is now before the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
