118th Congress
Introducing his first bill, Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Maryland, on Wednesday proposed raising the minimum age to purchase semiautomatic centerfire rifles and semiautomatic centerfire shotguns to 21.
Ivey’s Raise the Age Act’s minimum age requirement would match the minimum age required to purchase a handgun from a gun dealer with a federal license, which is 21. Exceptions to the proposed law would be active duty military personnel and full-time law enforcement officers.
Democrats on Capitol Hill defended President Biden’s age and health Wednesday following the octogenarian’s announcement that he would seek re-election. Biden on Tuesday launched his 2024 re-election campaign through a three-minute video. Already the oldest president in American history, he will be 81 on Election Day. Rep. Glenn Ivey, of Maryland, said Biden “seems to be doing fine.” “I think he’ll keep on keeping on,” he told Fox News.

A Maryland congressman is hoping to raise the legal age limit to buy a rifle from 18 to 21 nationwide.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Glenn Ivey, today, took to the House floor to introduce his first bill, the Raise the Age Act. The Raise the Age Act would protect the public by keeping assault weapons out of the hands of teenagers by applying the 21-year-old minimum age standard to buyers of semi-automatic centerfire rifles, just as it applies to handgun buyers.
