Why the model tagged it this way: The bill raises the minimum age from 18 to 21 for both carrying certain knives and for transfer of firearms (including assault weapons), clubs, and knives to minors; makes transfer of any firearm (not just handgun) to a minor under 21 a state jail felony; and repeals the parent/guardian affirmative defense for handgun transfer, all increasing restrictions on firearms and related items.
