On Thursday, Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced the Second Amendment for Every Registrable (SAFER) Voter Act, which would lower the age to purchase a handgun from a federal firearms licensee (FFL) to 18 from 21.
The HR 1643 bill looks to roll back a federal law requiring a person to be 21 or older to transfer any handgun through an FFL. This law covers the sale of handguns and all other handgun transfers through an FFL. A transferee must be 21 before they can legally be processed through the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for a transfer of a handgun. That prevents young adults from buying handguns from gun dealers.
