NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION v. BONDI et al Featured Case

Following Florida's passage of SB 7026, the state's first gun control legislation enacted after the Parkland school massacre on February 14, the National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit against the state. In its complaint, the NRA argues that the section of the law that raises the minimum age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21 violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments of the US Constitution.
