The Firearms Policy Coalition, which brought the case, says the ruling makes them optimistic other age-based gun bans will be overturned.
The ruling was not a total victory for gun rights advocates, who had sought to block the state from requiring a hunting license for purchases of rifles or shotguns by adults under 21 who are not in the military or law enforcement. The court ruled the license requirement was reasonable for increasing public safety through “sensible firearm control.”
Handgun sales to those under 21 were already prohibited, but the stricter age limits for rifles and shotguns were passed in 2018 after some of the nation’s worst mass shootings were committed by young adults using rifles, including the Valentine’s Day 2018 slayings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Court rules California's under-21 gun sales ban unconstitutionalIn a 2-1 ruling the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the ban violates the 2nd Amendment. Sometimes our constitution needs to be amended because how a minor will purchase a gun with no responsibility. Look how they drive, they don’t GAFF about people. Same thing with guns. They can use it as a toy and cause tragedies. We need a new constitution and avoid masacres. Damn, it’s almost like adults have rights and the state shouldn’t be allowed to overrule those rights for political gain. Gun laws don’t stop crime, they enable it. A gun free signs basically means “no one in this building can fight back” Mmmmm Mmmm?0lp

Redistricting Commission: Leave unconstitutional maps for 2022 electionThe Ohio Redistricting Commission is asking the state supreme court to rule on a legislative plan previously deemed unconstitutional only after it has been used for the 2022 general election. 'Out of options'? Umm... You could have, you know, drawn another map or something. That's the option that was never intended to be optional. It's your job. Gee this sure doesn’t look like it was the plan all along or anything nefarious at all. The court should demand to see the independent map they ordered but republicans rejected and refused to send to the court. How is that even possible? OhioCapJournal Thank you for including the fact that they are unconstitutional maps in the headline and lede.
