马萨诸塞州最高司法法院正在审理一个案件,该案质疑国家禁止21岁以下者持有火器,一名20岁的被告声称法律侵犯了他的第二修正案权利。
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court is hearing arguments in a case challenging the state’s ban on firearm possession for those under 21, with a 20-year-old defendant claiming the law violates his Second Amendment rights.
他的法律小组争辩说,18至20岁的人在其他领域被法律承认为成年人,因此年龄限制是任意的。
His legal team argues that 18- to 20-year-olds are legally recognized as adults in other areas, making the age restriction arbitrary.

Gun rights advocates and public defenders support the challenge, while the state defends the law as a reasonable public safety measure backed by data on youth gun violence.
