This bill, known as the "Disarming Felons Act," seeks to expand federal firearm prohibitions to include adults with specific juvenile delinquency records. It amends sections 922(d) and 922(g) of title 18, United States Code, which govern the disposition and possession of firearms, respectively. Specifically, the legislation prohibits the disposition of a firearm to , and the possession of a firearm by , any adult who, while a juvenile between the ages of 15 and 18, committed an act of juvenile delinquency that would have been classified as a felony if committed by an adult. This measure aims to prevent individuals with a history of serious offenses during their late juvenile years from legally obtaining or possessing firearms once they reach adulthood. By modifying existing federal statutes, the bill establishes new criteria for firearm ineligibility based on past juvenile conduct.
