Florida Senate expected to pass bill raising age limit for rifles and shotguns

Well, at least this is in a different circuit than NRA v BATFE (5th Circuit). This one's in the 11th Circuit. Should be interesting to see how this plays out, but it's going to be a while before we see anything of real substance, i.e. when we get a decision from the 11th Circuit.

Perhaps by that time, the composition of the Supreme Court will have changed. If it hasn't, then this will more likely than not go the same way as NRA v BATFE. But you never know.

And they are already being sued by the NRA on the age issue. Anyone think the NRA will lose this one?

I think they may win. May. Only because of Heller. Hard to say something is a constitutional right but an adult can't use it until he turns 21. Especially when 18 year olds are quite readily given guns to go fight wars for their country. The antigunners may end up sorry they opened Pandora's Box on this if it makes it to SCOTUS and they find handgun purchases are also constitutionally protected for 18-20 year olds.

The current make up of the SCOTUS scares me...regarding 2A.
