Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main legal challenge against Minnesota's ban on 18-20 year olds carrying guns?

The lawsuit argues that Minnesota's ban on 18-20 year olds carrying firearms outside the home is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. It contends that 18-year-olds are adults with full constitutional rights, and the ban infringes upon their right to keep and bear arms.

What legal precedent is being used in the Minnesota gun carry ban lawsuit?

The lawsuit heavily relies on the Supreme Court's decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen, which established the 'text, history, and tradition' test for evaluating Second Amendment rights. This framework is being used to argue that historical practices and the text of the Constitution support the right of young adults to carry firearms.

What historical evidence supports the right of 18-year-olds to carry firearms?

Historical evidence includes the Militia Acts of 1792, which required males aged 18-45 to enroll in the militia and provide their own firearms. Additionally, a 1783 letter from George Washington suggested citizens from 18 to 50 years of age should bear arms, indicating historical acceptance of firearm ownership by younger adults.

Who is bringing the lawsuit against Minnesota's 18-20 carry ban?

The lawsuit is a collaborative effort brought forth by prominent Second Amendment advocacy groups, including the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), and the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. They are joined by individual plaintiffs who are 18-20 years old.
