Elected Democrats and other critics call out the Trump administration for refusing to use contingency funding to pay for food stamps during the US government shutdown.
Gun ownership age has been 18 since there was a gun ownership age.
21 only applies to handguns and certain specific other weapons like NFA items and unlassified “firearms” (guns that aren’t classified as pistols, rifles or shotguns - mostly firearm receivers or a few weird stockless “shotguns” that don’t actually fit the shotgun definition).
He lowered the age for handguns to 18, after convicted criminal Rick Scott and the Florida Republican Legislature raised it to 21 after the Parkland Massacre (something Scott doesn’t like to talk about).

It’s been illegal to sell a handgun to anyone under 21 everywhere in the US for decades. The Governor of Florida can’t change that.
