[Eugene Volokh] Should Felons Have the Right to Challenge Their Loss of Gun Rights, on a Case-by-Case Basis? https://t.co/qveFMHHboJ
A recent ruling by a three-judge panel from the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld Colorado's law prohibiting gun sales to individuals under the age of 21. The unanimous decision, supported by judges appointed by Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden, allows the state to enforce this age restriction, which advocates argue is essential for public safety. The ruling comes amid ongoing discussions about gun rights and regulations, including the rights of felons to challenge their loss of gun ownership on a case-by-case basis. The decision revives a previously suspended ban on gun sales to those under 21, indicating that the court believes the harms of non-enforcement outweigh individual rights under the Second Amendment. This development marks a significant moment in the ongoing debate over gun control in the United States.
