佛罗里达州众议院通过法案,将购买枪支的年龄从21岁降低到18岁,尽管存在安全问题。 Florida House passes bill to lower gun purchase age from 21 to 18, despite safety concerns.

佛罗里达州众议院司法委员会连续第四年通过一项法案,将购买步枪和猎枪(包括突击式武器)的法定年龄从21岁降低到18岁,并投票赞成13-7。 The Florida House Judiciary Committee has passed a bill for the fourth consecutive year to lower the legal age to purchase rifles and shotguns, including assault-style weapons, from 21 to 18, voting 13-7 in favor. 这项措施将影响私人销售,但不影响要求购买者21岁才能从有执照的经销商购买的联邦法律,现在,这项措施将转到全议院。 The measure, which would affect private sales but not federal laws requiring buyers to be 21 to purchase from licensed dealers, now moves to the full House. 目前的21岁年龄限制是在2018年帕克兰高中枪击事件之后确定的,当时一名19岁的人合法购买了AR-15步枪。 The current 21-year-old age limit was established after the 2018 Parkland high school shooting, where a 19-year-old legally bought an AR-15. 支持者认为,变革恢复了青年成年人的第二修正案权利,他们已经可以携带火器和在军队服役,而反对者,包括幸存者和倡导团体,则警告枪支暴力和安全风险会增加。 Supporters argue the change restores Second Amendment rights for young adults, who can already carry firearms and serve in the military, while opponents, including survivors and advocacy groups, warn of increased gun violence and safety risks. 近年来,该法案在众议院获得通过,但在参议院却停滞不前,面临不确定的前景。 The bill has passed the House in recent years but has stalled in the Senate, where it faces uncertain prospects.
