Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates universal background checks for private firearm transfers (firearms/purchase-background-checks), expands and toughens safe-storage rules including for prohibited persons and raises minor age to 18 (firearms/storage-minors), bans certain unfinished frames/receivers and 3D-printed firearm manufacture (firearms/weapon-accessory-restrictions), and mandates trigger locks/gun cases plus warnings with sales (firearms/other). All provisions add restrictions on the axis of firearm access, ownership, transfer, and manufacture; no provisions expand access or preempt local rules.
