California: Legislature Votes to Prohibit Firearms Sales to Adults Under 21

SB 1100, sponsored by Senator Anthony Portantino (D-25), would raise the minimum age to purchase a long gun from 18 years old to 21 years old, effectively denying young adults their ability to exercise their constitutional rights. Instead of focusing on the criminal misuse of firearms, the California Legislature continues to focus their attention on restricting the rights of law-abiding Californians.
