SB 2845 prohibits persons under the age of 21 from purchasing or possessing ammunition, with limited exceptions. This legislation follows a similar tactic taken by other anti-gun states, pushing laws that discriminates against young adults from lawfully exercising their Second Amendment Rights.

Any person who engages in the sale, transfer, or distribution of ammunition would be required to verify the age of the buyer. Failure to satisfy provisions of SB 2845 could result in a seller or distributor for ammunition being guilty of a misdemeanor.

Once again, please submit testimony opposing SB 2845 through the legislative website and by contacting members of the House Committee for Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.
