The Eleventh Circuit just dropped another major opinion on constitutional law, this time upholding Florida’s ban on firearm purchases by individuals under 21 against a Second and Fourteenth Amendment challenge. With courts—including SCOTUS—grappling with gun rights post-Bruen, this decision adds another layer to the debate.

Read the full opinion below.
