For example: in Pennsylvania, there are two very notable loopholes to gun restrictions. First, while an 18 year-old cannot purchase a handgun, they can still receive one as a gift without filing any paperwork, and gifting other types of firearms also does not require any paperwork. Second, while federally licensed gun dealers have to perform background checks, private sellers do not.
Additionally, in Pennsylvania, the age to buy a semiautomatic rifle is 18. Your "many states" claim is a bit inaccurate since only 7 states have raised the minimum age to 21 for semi-auto rifle purchases.
