Texas Gov. Greg Abbott mentioned three court rulings when he said raising the minimum age to purchase semi-automatic rifles would be unconstitutional. Only one case is about age restrictions on the purchase of semi-automatic rifles.

Says Tim Michels' family foundation"funded an organization that tracks women when they get near abortion clinics … he wants to treat women like they're the criminals."The California 9th Circuit case addressedthe question of raising the minimum age to purchase semi-automatic weapons. It had struck down the law that restricted 18- to 20-year-olds from purchasing semi-automatic rifles, while keeping the law requiring a hunting license for a young adult to purchase a long gun.

In a separate case, a federal judge found Florida’s law restricting the purchase of semi-automatic rifles to people 21 years and older to be constitutional. Abbott did not mention that ruling,Willinger said it’s tough to say raising the minimum age is unconstitutional based on three rulings and no Supreme Court decision to settle the question.

Adam Winkler, UCLA Law professor, told PolitiFact Texas that Abbott’s claim was wrong because the Supreme Court did not say anything about age restrictions on concealed carry.
