To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the purchase of a semiautomatic assault weapon by, and the sale of such a weapon to, individuals under 25 years of age, and for other purposes.
This bill would prohibit individuals under 25 years of age from purchasing semiautomatic assault weapons and would make it illegal for sellers to sell such weapons to anyone under 25. The legislation defines "semiautomatic assault weapon" broadly to include various rifles, pistols, and shotguns with specific features such as detachable magazines, pistol grips, folding stocks, and barrel shrouds, as well as specific models like AR-15s and AK-47s listed by name. The bill affects gun dealers, manufacturers, and younger adults seeking to purchase these firearms, and it amends federal criminal law to establish penalties for violations. While the bill does not specify particular funding amounts or implementation timelines, it modifies existing penalties in the federal criminal code for violations related to the age restriction on assault weapon sales.
