It looks like 7 states the law is 21 for handguns, rifles, and shotguns.
I just counted to 7 off a list I found.
Honestly, gun laws, especially those effecting purchases have no effect on crimes using guns and homicides in this country. I have lived as a gun owner in two states, California and Virginia, that are on both ends of the gun law spectrum. California gun laws are some of the toughest in the land, and get tougher by the day. Virginia's gun laws are about as lax as can be the only requirement a buyer needs for a private sale is a valid state I.D. and to be 18. I can shoot sitting on my back porch, gun fire is heard daily here from target shooters and hunters. In California areas where shooting is allowed is constantly shrinking. If you compare murder rates between the two states they are very similar.

I disagree, you're country has very liberal gun laws compared to most other nations and your gun crimes and violence is much higher than said counties. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the correlation.
