> Under federal law, an adult under the age of 21 cannot go into a gun store and purchase a handgun. That's absolute BS in my book, but it could be worse. After all, they can still buy long guns, which can be used for many of the same purposes. Not all of them, and it shouldn't matter one way or the other, but that's part of why some people don't see it as a major issue. > But in the wake of the Parkland shooting, Florida lawmakers got very stupid. They passed a number of gun control laws, including a ban on those same adults under 21 buying long guns. Not just so-called assault weapons, mind you, but literally anything. That denied many of those adults their Second Amendment rights entirely for all practical purposes. > Now, though, a Florida House panel just advanced a bill that would correct that particular sin once and for all.
