Washington, January 31, 2025: A U.S. court has ruled that banning gun sales to individuals under 21 is unconstitutional, citing a violation of the Second Amendment. The decision followed a legal challenge claiming the ban infringed upon the constitutional right to bear arms, sparking debate over the balance between gun control and individual rights.
The ruling has significant consequences for gun laws across the U.S., especially for states considering age-based firearm restrictions. While some lawmakers expressed concerns, gun rights advocates celebrated the decision as a win for constitutional freedoms. The case may be appealed to higher courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
