Lawmakers voted 17-4 to move House Study Bill 280 forward. Currently, 18-year-olds can purchase long guns in Iowa, and there are also occupation-based exceptions for those ages 18 to 20. Critics of the legislation argue that lowering the age requirement could increase gun violence and suicides among young adults, while supporters say the current law infringes on Second Amendment rights. The bill will now move forward for consideration by the full House. |
