MONTGOMERY—Attorney General Luther Strange has filed an amicus
brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of a challenge by the
National Rifle Association against a federal law that restricts the
sale of handguns to adults aged 18-20. Attorney General Strange’s brief
was joined on Friday by 21 other Attorneys General in protecting for
their citizens “a liberty that is guaranteed to them by the federal
Constitution but currently denied to them by the federal government.”
"The right to bear arms guaranteed by the Second Amendment is
fundamental and sacred,” said Attorney General Strange. “We must be
vigilant in protecting it from intrusions and limitations. I am proud
to stand with the National Rifle Association in this effort.”
Attorney General Strange’s brief asserts that “adults who are 18, 19,
and 20 honorably defend our country when it is at war. These same
Americans should be able to defend themselves and their families when
they are at home. Yet Congress has chosen to preclude the States from
fostering their citizens’ freedom in this way.”
