Six of the nine deadliest shootings in the U.S. since 2018 were carried out by people 21-years-old or younger.
To address this, President Biden’s Bipartisan Safer Communities Act requires enhanced background checks for people under the age of 21.
So far, these enhanced checks have stopped 800 sales to individuals under age 21 who are prohibited from purchasing firearms – resulting in 25% additional denials to individuals under 21.
