HR 6782 United States House · 118th Congress

SAFER Voter Act

This bill, titled "SAFER Voter Act" but focused on firearms, amends federal law to require federal firearms licensees to verify that buyers of handguns (not shotguns or rifles) are at least 21 years old. It directly affects gun dealers and individuals under 21 seeking to purchase handguns. The key provision removes existing exceptions allowing sales of handguns to those under 21, requiring licensees to confirm age before transferring handguns. The bill does not address voting rights or voter registration, despite its misleading title. (Note: The bill's title conflicts with its actual provisions, which relate to firearm age restrictions.)
