New gun control measures for Florida have passed another legal hurdle, weeks after one of the worst school shootings in US history.
The state's House of Representatives passed a bill raising the age to buy a gun from 18 to 21 and imposing a three-day waiting period on all gun sales.
The bill, already passed by the Senate, now goes to the state governor.
Seventeen people were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on 14 February.

Expelled former student Nikolas Cruz, 19, has been charged with 17 counts of murder.
He is suspected of using a legally bought AR-15 semi-automatic rifle to carry out the 10-minute attack, gunning down teachers and students.
