California shows that tough laws can successfully reduce firearm deaths.
In his majority opinion, Judge Ryan D. Nelson, a Trump appointee, wrote that the ban, coupled with an existing ban on handgun sales to youths, left young adults with only the option of using shotguns to protect themselves in the home.
Indeed, Nelson grounded his endorsement of gun rights for 18- to 21-year olds by evoking the 2nd Amendment’s grounding in the colonial tradition of citizen militias, which frequently enlisted youths as young as 15. The prospect that the court might expand the reach of the 2nd Amendment even beyond the boundaries set by the late Justice Antonin Scalia in theof 2008 has stymied legal initiatives at the state level. California’s intention to appeal the appellate decision on semiautomatic weapons to the full 9th Circuit court is on hold pending the Supreme Court’s decision, according to legal authorities.
