WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 29, 2024) – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced today that it has filed a brief in opposition to Pennsylvania’s petition for certiorari in FPC’s Paris v. Lara case. The State is seeking Supreme Court review of the Third Circuit’s decision holding that Pennsylvania’s regulatory scheme banning carry by 18-to-20-year-old adults is unconstitutional. The brief can be viewed at firearmspolicy.org/lara.
“The courts of appeals are 2–0 post-Bruen in holding that 18-to-20-year-olds have full Second Amendment rights and the district courts are (to the best of Respondents’ knowledge) currently 4–1 on the same issue,” argues the brief. “The Court should not grant certiorari to review at this stage[.]”
“The Third Circuit correctly held that Pennsylvania’s age-based ban was unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. There is no reason for the Court to grant review and upset that decision,” said FPC President Brandon Combs.
The Lara case is part of FPC’s high-impact strategic litigation program, FPC Law, aimed at eliminating immoral laws and creating a world of maximal liberty. FPC was joined in the litigation by individual FPC members and the Second Amendment Foundation.
