A split on the right about whether teenagers can have weapons

The next case of the big second change can affect the teenagers. Appeals courts are shared whether the government can limit or limit weapons 18 to 20 year olds, and the Supreme Court will check whether it should hear one of these cases next week.

You could expect that the different views of the lower courts share according to predictable views, whereby the judges are appointed by Republicans on the one hand and democrats. However, this is a topic that has created a crack among conservative judges that has undertaken to discover the original meaning of the constitution.

Last month, judge William H. Pryor Jr., for example, wrote the majority opinion for the US Court of Appeal for the 11th district in Atlanta in an 8-to-4 decision in which a law in Florida is maintained that prohibits the sale of firearms to people under the age of 21.

Nobody doubts that judge Pryor is a more conservative. He was on the short list of President Trump in 2017 to occupy the position created by the death of judiciary Antonin Scalia. The conventional wisdom was that Judge Pryor would be exposed to a difficult confirmation battle – because he was too far to the right.

“Pryor did more for the matter than everyone else in the country,” said an official of the White House at the time. “But politics is really hard.”

The supporters of judge Pryor said that he would not fluctuate or develop. “He has a real titanium spine to do the right thing,” said an official from the Heritage Foundation, the conservative group, from the judge in 2017.
