A509 changes the minimum eligible age from 18 to 21 that an individual must be to purchase firearms.

We have assigned pluses to the nays because the right of Americans right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and should not be infringed. The death the opponents of gun rights have planned for the 2nd Amendment is one by a thousand cuts, and this is one such cut.
