This legislative proposal, titled the "Second Amendment For Every Registrable Voter Act" or "SAFER Voter Act" , seeks to amend federal law regarding the minimum age for handgun purchases. Its primary objective is to reduce the legal age at which an individual can obtain a handgun from a Federal firearms licensee, lowering it from the current 21 years of age to 18 years of age. The bill achieves this by making specific amendments to Section 922(b)(1) and Section 922(c)(1) of title 18, United States Code. These changes would eliminate the existing prohibition on Federal firearms licensees selling handguns or handgun ammunition to individuals under 21 years old, thereby allowing 18, 19, and 20-year-olds to legally purchase these items from licensed dealers.
