Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- The National Rifle Association today announced that it has filed a lawsuit challenging the State of Florida’s newly-enacted ban on the purchase of firearms by young adults between the ages of 18-21.
Florida’s ban is an affront to the Second Amendment, as it totally eviscerates the right of law-abiding adults between the ages of 18 and 21 to keep and bear arms.
The ban is particularly offensive with respect to young women, as women between the ages of 18 and 21 are much less likely to engage in violent crime than older members of the general population who are unaffected by the ban. Despite this fact, the State of Florida has enacted a sweeping law banning all young adults between the ages of 18 and 21 from purchasing any firearm from any source.
Chris Cox, the Executive Director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, stated, “Swift action is needed to prevent young adults in Florida from being treated as second-class citizens when it comes to the right to keep and bear arms.
We are confident that the courts will vindicate our view that Florida’s ban is a blatant violation of the Second Amendment.” The case is National Rifle Association of America, Inc. v. Bondi, and it has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida.

The Revelator, I doubt that these two (one?) are Gil, he doesn’t write that intelligently, not stating that these do, but he writes on a second grade level, these two write at about the 6th grade level, though their comprehension level is probably lower than Gil’s.

What is happening to our culture is scary. For the few people commenting that understand the problems we have always faced trading rights for regulations: The poorly equipped people I see at the range who close there eyes as they yank on the trigger. The police officers who hate guns. The police precincts who make officers pay to practice there ability to shoot. The “no term limits” Congress that has slowly turned our representatives into slaves to the masses; because of that one fact, what’s right is no longer an option for them when voting. The tribal attitude that has… Read more »
@wildbill, Heed & Old Vet: Four of us, about nine yrs ago, were going to go in together and purchase a Dillon Minigun. Purchase price was just North of $400K and we figured if we offered cash we just might be able to get it for just South of $400. All well and good and we’re happy campers UNTIL we realized that the damn thing eats 5-6,000 rounds per minute and, even with two of us reloading, we’d never be able to afford the ammo! It was a lot of fun imagining the possibilities! 🙂 Trolls like Lee will never… Read more »
