Eighth Circuit Splits Hairs On RIGHT To Keep And Bear Arms for 18-20 Year-Olds

Conservative analysts such as Jonathan Turley and Stephen Halbrook are applauding Eighth US Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Duane Benton for his recently issued opinion in the case called “Worth et al v. Jacobson.” But, though it is a decision that blocks the state of Minnesota from prohibiting gun "licenses" for people aged 18-20, Judge Benton actually reaches this positive conclusion by utilizing a faulty approach to the Second Amendment.

As historian Halbrook reports for Reason, Judge Benton’s majority decision partially hinges on the recent “United States v. Rahimi” decision (regarding Zackey Rahimi, a man who had a restraining order on him and was blocked from having a gun, per an interpretation of the 1968 Gun Control Act) and partially on the "Second level" of the "Bruen Standard" analysis from two years ago in the “NY Rifle and Pistol Assoc v. Bruen” Supreme Court ruling. In this case, the judge determined that the state of Minnesota blocking people who are under 21 from getting gun "licenses" is substantively different from blocking a person with a restraining order on him.

This is false.
