Republicans in Florida’s Capitol restart push to lower the gun-buying age to 18

  • Florida Republican lawmakers and gun rights advocates are attempting to lower the gun-buying age from 21 to 18, taking advantage of new leadership in the Capitol.
  • The law was initially raised following the Parkland shooting in 2018 after significant lobbying from victims' families.
  • If successful, the bill would allow adults aged 18 and older to buy long guns from licensed sellers, while handguns would still require buyers to be 21.
  • Opponents, including Democratic Representative Robin Bartleman, have criticized the proposal as 'a slap in the face' to families who advocated for the original law.
