In a bit of good news for gun owners coming out of the courts for once, the U.S. Supreme Court has denied Cert in the Worth v. Harrington case!
This means that the 8th Circuit’s overturning of Minnesota’s ban on 18 to 20-year-olds carrying a firearm will remain! Minnesota is one of the worst blue states right now, and this sends a clear message that these young adult bans may not last across the country.
Several organizations, including the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition, brought the case. If another case comes forward in a different circuit with a different result, perhaps SCOTUS will take up the issue then.
Keep in mind that these are adults. We will send them to war, but they can’t carry a firearm for self-defense?
Gun grabbers in Minnesota tried to claim that the age group should not have access to guns and that they posed more of a risk by allowing them to carry. The 8th Circuit judges disagreed with the gun grabbers and said they showed no evidence to back up their claim.
Gun grabbers have made the same claims in other states, but none of their “doom and gloom” scenarios have ever materialized because bad people will still be bad and good people will still be good, no matter what laws are passed.
