How old do you have to be to purchase one? Is it 18 like the other long guns or 21 like hand guns?
Who makes a good M16 or AR15 type gun (I dont know all of the different models). Id be lookin for one that is customizable. Ill be 18 soon and have always wanted one. Ive shot a few and absolutely love them.

A Report by:
The Department of the Treasury
and
The Department of Justice
Gun Crime
in the Ag e Group
18 -20
June 1999
Department of Justice Department of the Treasury
June 1999 1
Gun Crime in the Age Group 18 to 20
In 1996, 34,040 people in the United States were killed with guns. Of those deaths, 18,166 were
suicides, 14,037 were homicides, 1,134 were unintentional shootings, and 413 deaths were of
unknown intent. (National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control, U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services.) This report focuses primarily on firearms homicides and
other gun crime in the age group 18 to 20.
Current Law on Firearms Possession by Young People
Current federal minimum age regulations relating to firearms vary by type of gun and means of
access. The Gun Control Act of 1968 made it unlawful for federal firearms dealers to sell handguns
to persons under 21. The Youth Handgun Safety Act of 1994 generally prohibited transfers
of handguns to and possession of handguns by anyone under 18. Exceptions include official
military use, and the following activities with the written consent of the parent or guardian:
employment, ranching, farming, target practice, hunting and handgun safety instruction.
Persons
between the ages of 18 and 21 may still acquire handguns from non-licensed sellers.
There is no federal age restriction on possession of long guns (including rifles and shotguns).
While licensed dealers may only sell rifles and shotguns to persons aged 18 and older,
there is no
age restriction on the transfer of shotguns and rifles by non-licensed sellers.
The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 banned the possession of semiautomatic
assault weapons manufactured after passage of the law. Under the law, assault weapons are
defined either by specific make and model or by specific features. Assault weapons can be pistols,
rifles, or shotguns. A person of any age may acquire an assault rifle or assault shotgun manufactured
before 1994 from a non-licensed seller, and as of age 18, a person may buy assault rifles and
assault shotguns manufactured before 1994 from licensed dealers. Pistols classified as semiautomatic
assault weapons that are grandfathered are subject to the same restrictions as other handguns.
There are no age restrictions on transfer or possession of large capacity ammunition feeding
devices (more than 10 rounds); thus a person of any age may purchase such devices manufactured....
does that mean that someone who is 18 can buy a handgun from a non-licensed seller? And that anyone can but a rifle or shotgun?
this was in 1999. does anyone know where i can find current gun laws at to see if theyve changed?

You need to be 18. That's it. You only need a class three if it's fully automatic, under a certain barrell length or suppressed.
