BREAKING FROM THE WASHINGTON POST:
FEDERAL COURT LOWERS GUN PURCHASE AGE, RULES TEENAGERS CAN BUY DEADLY WEAPONS
|
John, this is urgent: Trump-appointed federal court judges recently ruled in favor of the gun lobby to lower age restrictions on gun purchases – threatening to roll back life-saving protections that Brady has been championing for decades.
|
There's no doubt the consequences will be deadly. In some communities, it's already easier to obtain a gun than fresh produce – and by lowering the purchase age for handguns, the ruling could make these deadly weapons more likely to end up in the wrong hands.
|
Even worse? This decision comes on the heels of the Supreme Court's announcement that it will hear another NRA-backed Second Amendment case for the first time in over a decade. The stakes could not be higher.
|
We can't make the decisions for these courts – but we can make it clear that the majority of Americans support bipartisan, common-sense gun safety laws that save lives. That's exactly what Brady fights for every day. But we can only win if we do it together, and right now, we still haven't heard from you. We need another 14 responses from your area by midnight tonight, so please tell us before this poll closes:

Do you think teenagers should be allowed to purchase deadly weapons?
