The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging a Massachusetts statute which bans young adults in the 18-to-20 age group from acquiring, possessing or carrying any semiautomatic firearm of any type or any handgun. The case is known as Escher v. Noble.
Joining SAF are the National Rifle Association, Gun Owners Action League, Commonwealth Second Amendment, Firearms Policy Coalition and a private citizen, Mack Escher, for whom the case is named.
