The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has announced its decision regarding gun ownership and carrying laws in Minnesota.
The ruling said Minnesota’s gun laws, which prevent 18- and 20-year-olds from carrying guns in public, “are not consistent with the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.”
State officials argued that the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms does not apply to 18- and 20-year-olds and that states “have the authority to regulate the bearing of arms by dangerous and irresponsible groups.”
The appeals court stated that there was no age limit in the second amendment and noted that the rights of people in this age group should be protected.
The issue of individual armament, one of the issues that constantly occupies the agenda in the United States, is based on the Second Amendment to the country’s constitution.
The law known as the “Right to Arms” states, “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Assassination attempt on Trump
Former US President Trump was attacked while addressing his supporters from the podium at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 14. One rally attendee was killed and two people were injured in the attack; the US Secret Service announced that the attacker was neutralized.
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) described the attack as an assassination attempt, and after investigations, announced that the person who attempted the assassination and was killed at the scene was 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Following the incident, gun laws in the state became a matter of curiosity.
