Raise the Age Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Ivey, Glenn [D-MD-4]

Introduced

Summary

Raises the minimum age to buy certain semiautomatic centerfire rifles and shotguns to 21. It would also require a short FBI report on how the agency’s public access line shares information with field offices.

Show full summary
  • Young adults and families: People under 21 would be prohibited from buying semiautomatic centerfire rifles or shotguns that accept more than five rounds unless they are a "qualified individual." The current ban on delivering any firearm or ammunition to someone under 18 remains.
  • Federal firearms licensees and sellers: Licensees would be barred from selling or delivering the specified semiautomatic weapons to buyers under 21 unless the buyer meets the bill's "qualified individual" exceptions. The law reorganizes federal age rules into a three-part transfer test and defines "ammunition feeding device."
  • FBI public access line: The FBI Director would have 90 days to report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on current protocols for sharing information between the public access line and field offices and to recommend improvements.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Stricter age limits for gun purchases

If enacted, federal gun dealers would face stricter age rules. Semiautomatic centerfire rifles or shotguns that use magazines over 5 rounds: buyers must be 21+. An exception would apply to “qualified” buyers: active-duty military and certain full-time government employees allowed to carry. Firearms that are not shotguns or rifles would require buyers to be 21+. Other shotguns and rifles would require buyers to be 18+. Dealers could not sell guns or ammo if they know or reasonably believe the buyer is underage. An “ammunition feeding device” would include magazines and drums, but not attached .22 rimfire tubes. These changes would take effect upon enactment.
