In theory you could buy a gun in Kansas on the day you are born.

Federal law sets the minimum ages as 18 for long guns and 21 for handguns from Federally licensed dealers.

For private sales or transactions however the law is different.

Handguns are restricted to 18 years of age in private sales or transactions.

There is no federal law in regards to minimum age for the private sale or transaction of a firearm not defined as a handgun.

Kansas law only restricts the private sale or transaction of a firearm with a barrel of less than 12 inches and sets the minimum age for such transactions at 18.

Basically there is no age restriction on buying a firearm in Kansas as long as it has a barrel of 12 inches or greater.
