It prevents those under 21 from purchasing firearms from a licensed firearm dealer (FFL).

It does not prevent those under 21 from purchasing firearms via private face-to-face intrastate transactions or otherwise to be gifted firearms consistent with Federal law.

Conservatives hostile to the law have tried to advance the lie that the measure prohibits those under 21 from acquiring firearms altogether, rendering them ‘defenseless.’
