Yes

Normally 18 for a rifle or shotgun, 21 for a handgun. Some states may have tighter restrictions

Age restrictions vary from state to state. Usually, you can buy a hunting rifle at age 18 and a handgun at age 21.

Yep. In every state. Some states might be slightly different, but in TN. AL, GA, it's 21 for a handgun and 18 for a rifle.
