A US Court of Appeal ruled yesterday Thursday that a law that banned the purchase of pistols from customers between 18 and 21 years in federal operating operators is unconstitutional, in a country where violence using firearms cost tens of thousands of lives each year.

The members of the Federal Court of Appeal based in New Orleans, which has a reputation for being extremely conservative, considered that the federal law – which is remarkably did not prevent Americans in this age spectrum to hold weaponsNot even buy rifles – it is contrary to the second amendment of the American Constitution, which guarantees the right to arms.

‘No limitations on age or adulthood in the text of the amendment’they argued in their decision by the three appeals, considering that it includes “people 18 to 21 years”, guarantees their right to carry arms.

This decision is “dangerous and non -existent”, he denounced an organization fighting against violence using weapons, Everlytown Law, recalling that “Firearms are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents” in the US.

Previous ruling of the same Court of Appeal, preventing the application of a law prohibiting violent spouses from holding a weapon, was abducted in June by the Federal Supreme Court – although conservative judges are being made.

The leading institution of the US judicial system, a great referee on social issues in the country, may also need to decide for yesterday’s verdict.

The US, a country where more weapons are circulating than inhabitants, show the highest mortality index due to a weapon use between the developed states of the world.

Violent episodes using weapons are perpetual scourge that one government after another proves reluctant or powerless to faceas many Americans remain completely focused on their weapons and do not even want to hear about restrictions.
