The court ruled that a California ban on the sale of semiautomatic rifles to adults younger than 21 was unconstitutional.
People wait to enter a gun store in Culver City in 2020. A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that California's ban on the sale of semiautomatic firearms to adults younger than 21 was unconstitutional.
The ruling reverses a lower court's decision not to issue an injunction to block a 2019 state law that banned the sale of semiautomatic centerfire rifles to young adults, which the appeals court called a "legal error." Nelson was joined by Judge Kenneth K. Lee, another Trump appointee who issued his own concurring opinion. Judge Sidney H. Stein, an appointee of President Clinton, dissented.
"Today’s decision confirms that peaceable legal adults cannot be prohibited from acquiring firearms and exercising their rights enshrined in the Second Amendment," Adam Kraut, the group's vice president of programs, said in a statement. "We are pleased to see progress on this important legal front and optimistic that similar results will come from our many other challenges to age-based bans filed in courts across the United States.
