The House Judiciary Committee has advanced legislation that would raise the age limit for purchasing a semi-automatic rifle from 18 to 21
It also builds on the administration's executive action banning fast-action"bump-stock" devices and"ghost guns" that are assembled without serial numbers.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, defended his chamber's proposals as popular with most Americans. He dismissed Republican criticism. A chief feature of the House bill requires those buying semi-automatic weapons to be at least 21. Only six states require someone to be at least 21 years old to buy rifles and shotguns. The shooters in Uvalde and Buffalo, New York, both were 18 and used an AR-15-style weapon.
Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., pointed to a U.S. appeals court ruling last month, however, that found California's ban on the sale of semiautomatic weapons to adults under 21 unconstitutional.
