Florida’s post-Parkland law raising minimum age to purchase a gun to 21 is upheld

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:12:07 GMT

(CNN) — A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld a Florida law passed after the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that raised the minimum age to purchase a gun from 18 to 21.The 3-0 ruling from the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals comes as aged-based restrictions are shaping up to become a flashpoint in the legal battles over gun access since the Supreme Court last year laid out a new test for determining a gun restriction’s constitutionality.Seventeen people were killed in the shooting by a 19-year-old on February 14, 2018.In an opinion written by Circuit Judge Robin Rosenbaum, the panel concluded that the Florida law was “consistent with our Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation” — a reference to the Supreme Court’s landmark Second Amendment ruling last year that instructed courts to look to whether a firearm restriction has historical analogues when assessing the restriction’s constitutionali...

SNP unity rocked in race to replace Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:12:07 GMT

LONDON — Divided parties don’t win elections, or so the saying goes. The Scottish National Party may soon have to put that one to the test.The brightest lights of Scotland’s dominant pro-independence party have been tearing chunks out of each other in a deeply acrimonious leadership contest to replace leader and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who resigned after eight years at the helm in February. TV debates this week have seen the contest reach boiling point, and there are fears it may be hard to let bygones be bygones when it’s all over.Finance Secretary Kate Forbes — who has bounced back from a torrid first week to remain a serious contender — is pitching herself as the change candidate. And that means heaping scorn on Sturgeon’s government, as well as the competence of her main contender Humza Yousaf. “When you were transport minister, the trains were never on time,” she said Tuesday night, in a highly-charged attack mixing the personal and the political. ...

What’s in Biden’s budget

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:12:07 GMT

(CNN) — President Joe Biden released his annual budget Thursday, outlining his policy priorities for the year ahead.Make no mistake, the proposed budget has no chance of making it through the Republican-controlled House. But Biden’s plan will frame upcoming political battles on Capitol Hill, where the GOP has yet to unveil its own spending plan.Biden’s budget comes out after the US hit the debt ceiling, a cap set by Congress, earlier this year. The Treasury Department is now taking extraordinary measures to allow the government to keep paying its bills. But the country could start to default on its obligations over the summer if Congress doesn’t address the debt ceiling before then. Republicans are calling for some spending cuts in exchange for voting to raise the cap, while the White House does not want to negotiate on resolving the debt limit drama.Many of the provisions in the budget rehash the president’s earlier propos...
