Rep. Ivey Introduces Raise the Age Act to Ban Semiautomatic Rifle Sales to Those Under 21
The Raise the Age Act of 2025 is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently sent to the House Committee on the Judiciary for review. The bill is actively moving, but no future votes or hearings have been scheduled yet.
While this bill has over 100 Democratic cosponsors, gun control measures face very steep opposition in the House and rarely move past the committee stage.
Scores run from -100 (strongly harmful) to +100 (strongly beneficial) for each group, combining impact, certainty, scope, and duration ratings of 1-5. How impact scoring works
Federal firearms licensees (gun shop owners and dealers) would lose a segment of their customer base, since 18-to-20-year-olds would no longer be eligible to purchase many popular semiautomatic rifles and shotguns. Dealers would also face new compliance requirements to verify buyers' ages and check for military or law enforcement status before completing sales of covered firearms.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
