Summary of Bill HR 1643

Bill 119 hr 1643, also known as the "Handgun Purchaser Age Reduction Act," aims to lower the minimum age at which a person can purchase a handgun from a Federal firearms licensee from 21 years old to 18 years old. The bill seeks to give younger adults the ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights and purchase handguns legally.

Supporters of the bill argue that 18-year-olds are legally considered adults and should have the same rights as older individuals when it comes to purchasing firearms. They believe that lowering the age limit will allow responsible young adults to protect themselves and their families.

Opponents of the bill express concerns about the potential risks of allowing 18-year-olds to purchase handguns. They argue that younger individuals may not have the maturity or experience to handle firearms safely and responsibly. They also worry about the potential for increased gun violence and accidents if younger adults have easier access to handguns. Overall, the debate surrounding Bill 119 hr 1643 centers on balancing the Second Amendment rights of young adults with concerns about public safety and gun violence. The bill will likely continue to spark discussions and debates as it moves through the legislative process.
