NEW YORK – A leading organization for limiting access to firearms, Everytown for Gun Safety, says a federal appeals court has ignored reality in overruling a 2023 Minnesota law to keep handgun out of the hands of anyone younger than 21. Janet Carter, the organization’s senior director, said that public-carry age restrictions are constitutional under any reasonable reading of the Second Amendment. The appellate ruling, Carter also said, misreads recent U.S. Supreme Court opinions. Everytown Law has the largest staff of litigators in the country dedicated to advancing gun safety in the courts and through the civil and criminal justice systems.
