HF924 lowers the minimum age for acquiring or carrying weapons from 21 to 18.

The Iowa State House of Representatives passed HF924 on March 25, 2025 by a vote of 79 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill would remove the state’s minimum-age requirement that prevents a person younger than 21 from purchasing a firearm, which is both unconstitutional and more restrictive than current federal law. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution assures that the right of the American people “to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
