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

  • Florida House Republicans backed a proposal to repeal age limits on purchasing rifles and shotguns for people under 21, as noted by the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee's 13-5 vote along party lines.
  • The bill would also allow individuals under 21 to buy handguns from private sellers, which is currently restricted under federal law.
  • Opponents emphasized concerns over the maturity of young adults and safety, with Rep. Robin Bartleman stating, 'We owe it to these families not to go backwards,' referencing the Parkland shooting.
  • Governor Ron DeSantis has shown support for revising gun laws, but specifics on this bill remain unclear.
