The legal age for a citizen to purchase a firearm is 18 years old. I want to change the legal age to 21 because this gives people the opportunity to mature and learn about gun control. Once they own a firearm, they must be evaluated on a yearly basis to make sure that they still have the weapon and did not hand it off to someone who is unable to purchase a firearm. The evaluation also serves as a way to make sure the people owning the firearms are properly using it and are physically and mentally able to maintain and use the firearm properly.
