Overview

The Protecting Our Kids Act aims to reduce gun violence by implementing several key changes to federal firearms laws. It raises the minimum age for purchasing certain semiautomatic rifles and shotguns to 21, establishes criminal penalties for gun trafficking and straw purchases, modernizes regulations on "ghost guns," and encourages safe firearm storage. The bill also addresses the sale of bump stocks and seeks to close loopholes related to large-capacity ammunition feeding devices, while establishing a program to support states in implementing safe storage laws.
