The Florida House of Representatives passed a bill Friday that would lower the minimum age to purchase a firearm from 21 to 18.
The bill, which was introduced by Republican state Reps. Bobby Payne and Tyler Sirois, passed by a 76-35 margin and will move to the Florida Senate, in which the GOP occupies 28 of the 40 seats.
