What it does

The Disarming Felons Act would prohibit the sale or transfer of firearms to, and the possession of firearms by, adults who committed a felony-equivalent offense as a juvenile between the ages of 15 and 18. It amends federal law (18 U.S.C. §§ 922(d) and 922(g)) to add this new category of prohibited persons, treating certain juvenile offenses as disqualifying for firearm rights in adulthood. The bill affects individuals who were adjudicated delinquent for serious crimes as teenagers and seeks to prevent them from accessing firearms later in life. It does not apply to juvenile offenses committed before age 15 or after age 18.
