Juvenile Firearms Safety Act of 2026
The Juvenile Firearms Safety Act of 2026 makes it illegal for adults to give non-handgun firearms to minors who intend to use them for self-harm or crimes, and it also restricts adults from storing firearms in places where minors can easily access them. The law allows adults to avoid penalties if they keep guns locked up or on their person, and it considers factors like prior knowledge of a minor's mental health or violent behavior when determining liability. Penalties range from one year in prison for simple violations to up to ten years if a minor causes injury or death after receiving a prohibited firearm.
