Bill overview
This bill, the Second Amendment For Every Registrable Voter Act (SAFER Voter Act), seeks to lower the minimum age for purchasing handguns in the United States. It proposes changing federal law to allow individuals aged 18, instead of the current 21, to obtain handguns from licensed firearms dealers. This change would align the handgun purchasing age with that of other rights, such as voting and military service, according to proponents. The bill aims to expand Second Amendment rights for young adults.
