Florida will ban gun sales to people under 21 years old

Gov. Rick Scott, R-Fla., announced Friday his state will no longer allow the sale of guns to people under the age of 21 years, and detailed a broader $500 million plan to “make massive changes” that enhance school safety after last week’s high school shooting in Parkland, Fla.

“We will require all individuals purchasing firearms to be 21 or older,” Scott said during a press conference Friday morning. “We will require all individuals purchasing firearms to be 21 or older. There will be exceptions for active duty and reserve military and spouses, National Guard members, and law enforcement.”
