Firearms, to prohibit possession and transfer of assault weapon under certain circumstances

HB 13 prohibits the sale, transfer, or possession of assault weapons by anyone under 18 years old in Alabama. The bill defines "assault weapon" broadly to include firearms with specific features like detachable magazines, certain stocks, or short barrel lengths (excluding antique firearms). Violating these provisions would be a Class B felony for selling to minors or a Class C felony for underage possession. The bill is pending in the Alabama House Judiciary Committee and would take effect October 1, 2025, if enacted.
