Florida: Urge Your Senator to End Age Discrimination!

Only four weeks remain in the 2025 legislative session in Florida and time is running out to pass critical legislation to restore the ability for young adults to lawfully purchase firearms. NRA priority legislation that would end this discriminatory practice has sat idle in the Senate for weeks, while the House has taken action passing companion legislation, HB 759. Please use the Take Action link below to ask your Senator TODAY to support and urge movement on legislation to repeal the age discrimination of adults purchasing firearms!

Senate Bill 94Senate Bill 920Senate Bill 1716, & House Bill 759 restores the ability for young adults to acquire firearms by lowering the minimum age requirement to purchase from 21 to 18. It is now up to the Senate to pass the legislation.

In addition, pro-gun companion bills, House Bill 6025 and Senate Bill 952, protecting our Second Amendment Rights during a state of emergency, are on the move. HB 6025 is eligible for a House floor vote this week and SB 952 is scheduled for a policy committee hearing in the Senate Rules Committee on Tuesday, April 8, at 9:00 AM.

House Bill 6025 & Senate Bill 952 repeal automatic prohibitions that violate Floridians’ Second Amendment rights during a state of emergency. The following acts are automatic prohibitions that this legislation would repeal: the intentional possession of a firearm in public, the sale of any ammunition or firearms, and the intentional display of ammunition or firearms in a store.

Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website and your inbox for updates as this critical legislation progresses.
