HB 299 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits the purchasing of semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms by anyone under twenty years of age

HB 299 prohibits anyone under twenty years old from purchasing, leasing, or trading semi-automatic or fully automatic firearms in commercial transactions. The bill specifically targets the sale of these firearms to minors (ages 19 and younger), defining a "semi-automatic firearm" as one that automatically loads each round but requires manual trigger pulls for each shot. It includes exceptions for transfers to peace officers or military personnel on official duty. This law directly affects young adults aged 19 and under who wish to legally acquire these firearm types through commercial channels.
