↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 85%
Creates a new Class A misdemeanor for any person under 21 who knowingly purchases or possesses a firearm, and makes selling/transferring a firearm to a person under 21 a state jail felony if the firearm is a handgun.
A person who is younger than 21 years of age commits an offense if the person knowingly: (1) purchases a firearm; or (2) possesses a firearm.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill raises the minimum age for firearm purchase, possession, and transfer from 18 to 21 for all firearms (expanding the prior handgun-specific limit and removing the under-18 exception for other weapons), creates a new offense for under-21 purchase/possession, and increases penalties for transfers of handguns to under-21s. These changes add restrictions on firearm access for those under 21 with no countervailing expansions.
