The SAFER Voter Act would lower the minimum age requirement for purchasing handguns from Federal firearms licensees from 21 years old to 18 years old. The bill would amend federal gun laws to allow 18-year-olds to legally buy handguns, while keeping the existing age restrictions for other types of firearms unchanged. The legislation affects gun dealers licensed by the federal government and any 18-to-20-year-old citizens who wish to purchase handguns. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, as it is primarily a legal change to existing federal statute.
