Rep Steven Roberts St Louis has long been a proponent of common-sense gun
laws – those essential not only to preventing gun accidents in the home, but
also in terms of tackling and eliminating gun violence and gun-related deaths
currently affecting families and communities across the country.
An
advocate of common-sense gun regulation, Rep. Roberts knows how important it is
to know and adhere to existing national gun laws. Some of the basic gun laws
now in effect include:
· Minimum age requirements. Individuals must be 18
years of age to purchase rifles, shotguns and ammunition anywhere in the United
States. States are unable to lower these minimum requirements.
· Controlled substance convictions. Anyone who has
been convicted of a controlled substance violation may not purchase a firearm
for one year.
· State restrictions. Many states have different
laws when it comes to carrying and operating firearms, though these can not
come into conflict with existing federal regulations.
Rep Steven Roberts St Louis is a former prosecutor and first-term state house
representative. He was elected to represent the 77th District in
November of 2016.
