Raising the age to purchase firearms will eventually be ruled unconstitutional.
For several reasons. First, in Florida you're saying 18yr old military members cannot be issued a weapon.
Second, it undermines the idea of a citizen militia. In the times the country has relied upon militia the standard is they bring their weapons with them. Well now you're taking the largest bulk of fighting age militia and preventing them from buying said weapon.
Third, the final death blow to it will be women. An 18-20yr old woman who lives alone could be targeted for stalking or rape. You're taking their ability to defend themselves completely away.
