On Thursday, the US Court of Appeals upheld the legality adopted law in Florida in 2018, after fatal shooting Parkland, which raises the minimum age for the purchase of firearms for 18 to 21 years old and that it was contested by the National Rifle Association (NRA, acronym in English).

A three-judge panel of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously found that the law did not violate the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which protects the right of the American people to to own and bear arms, according to the NRA.

The appeal was filed by the NRA along with Radford Fant, son of former Jacksonville, North Florida Republican MP Jay Fant, shortly after the bill went into effect in 2018.

According to this opinion, governments What are they looking for regulate firearms must show that the law “is consistent with historical tradition gun regulation the fire of this nation,” they said.

“In Ohio, a 19-year-old son shoot and kill his father to “avenge his mother’s wrongs”. In Philadelphia a’young man 18 years old You fire to one 14 year old girl before pointing the gun at yourself because she didn’t want it‘. 20 year old in New York shoot and kill to his “mistress” out of envy“

“In Washington, D.C., a 19-year-old shoot and kill to his mother, noting another death from “careless handling of firearms”. In Texas, a 19 year old boy fire still police officer because of an “old fight” between a police officer and the father of a 19-year-old. These stories are torn from the headlines, that is, the headlines of the Reconstruction era. But could be taken from today’s news“Judge Rosenbaum wrote in the ruling, a 40-page document that EFE had access to.

“Unfortunately,” says the judge, “they illustrate social problem persistent. While young people between the ages of 18 and 20 now represent less than 4% population are responsible for more than 15% arrests for manslaughter and manslaughter without prior thought.”

“For more than 150 years since the beginning of Reconstruction weapon they became deadly: automatic assault rifles can fire sixty shots per minute strong enough to liquefy organsRosenbaum added.
