On June 20, 2025, Tennessee Firearms Association and Tennessee Firearms Foundation joined Gun Owners of America and several other organizations to submit an amicus brief in National Rifle Association, Incorporated, Petitioner v. Mark Glass, Commissioner, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, 24-1185, United States Supreme Court in which we argue that the Supreme Court should grant review of the astounding holding of the Eleventh Circuit.

In 2018, Florida enacted Fla. Stat. § 790.065(13) which statute violates the rights of all adults from ages 18 to 20 in the State of Florida, flatly prohibiting that entire class of persons from purchasing firearms. Following years of litigation, the Eleventh Circuit upheld the challenged statute concluding that it “is consistent with our historical tradition of firearm regulation.” The court relied almost exclusively on Founding-era common-law principles regarding legal infancy, some of which applied to those under the age of 21, but none of which prohibited the purchase or possession of firearms.

At issue in this appeal is whether the Second Amendment protects the right to purchase and acquire firearms and, if so, at what age does that right vest. The Eleventh Circuit got it wrong.
