So with this new law passed in florida, is it legal for someone the age of 18,19, or 20 to purchase a firearm from a private seller? Or a licensed ffl?

Section 11. Present subsection (13) of section 790.065,
675 Florida Statutes, is redesignated as subsection (14), and a new
676 subsection (13) is added to that section, to read:
677 790.065 Sale and delivery of firearms.—
678 (13) A person younger than 21 years of age may not purchase
679 a firearm. The sale or transfer of a firearm to a person younger
680 than 21 years of age may not be made or facilitated by a
681 licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer. A
682 person who violates this subsection commits a felony of the
683 third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083,
684 or s. 775.084. The prohibitions of this subsection do not apply
685 to the purchase of a rifle or shotgun by a law enforcement
686 officer or correctional officer, as those terms are defined in
687 s. 943.10(1), (2), (3), (6), (7), (8), or (9), or a
688 servicemember as defined in s. 250.01.

It looks like it means licensees may not sell to under 21, but I wouldn't wanna be a test case.

I read it as a person in that age span could be gifted, but cannot purchase.
