Juvenile Firearm Regulation Act of 1993 - Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit the transfer of a firearm or ammunition to an individual under age 18, unless a parent or legal guardian has consented to the transfer.

Prohibits a juvenile from possessing a firearm or ammunition, except with respect to a juvenile: (1) who is under the supervision of an adult who is not prohibited by Federal, State, or local law from possessing a firearm; or (2) while engaged in a course of instruction or in hunting, target shooting, or other sporting activities, or while transporting the firearm or ammunition to or from the site of such activities, to the extent that the possession is specifically authorized by or under State law.

Sets penalties for violations of this Act.

Limits to six months the maximum term of imprisonment that would be authorized if a juvenile had been tried and convicted as an adult where the juvenile was found to be delinquent by reason of a violation of the prohibition against the unsupervised and unauthorized possession of a firearm or ammunition.
