A decades-old U.S. government ban on federally licensed firearms dealers selling handguns to adults under the age of 21 is unconstitutional, a U.S. appeals court held on Thursday, citing recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings expanding gun rights. The ruling by the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals marked the first time a federal appeals court has held that the prohibition violated the right to keep and bear arms enshrined in the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment. The appeals court had previously upheld that same ban in 2012.

Nicaragua's Ortega expands power as reforms win final approval
(Reuters) -Constitutional reforms proposed by Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega to further consolidate power by extending his control over other parts of government won final approval on Thursday after a unanimous vote. The reforms have been defended by government allies as deepening a nearly 50-year-old revolution, but blasted by critics as a power grab from an increasingly dictatorial family dynasty. Unveiled by the 79-year-old Ortega in November, the wide-ranging reforms formally empower the presidency to "coordinate" judicial and legislative duties, allow it to order the army to intervene to support the police, and permit security agents to temporarily take executive branch positions under orders.
