Firearms storage minorsAI label

Restricts gun access model confidence 90%

Expands the safe-storage requirement to cover access by prohibited users (in addition to minors), lowers the age of a 'minor' from under 18 to under 16 in one place but otherwise strengthens the mandate and raises penalties in some cases, so greater legal obligation to secure firearms.

A person who stores or leaves, on a premise under his or her control, a firearm, as defined in s. 790.001, and who knows or reasonably should know that a prohibited user is likely to gain access to the firearm, shall keep the firearm in a securely locked box or container or shall secure it with a trigger lock

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a universal background-check requirement for all firearm transfers (with listed exceptions), expands and toughens safe-storage rules that apply to both minors and prohibited persons, bans unfinished frames/receivers and 3D-printed firearms, and adds dealer obligations for locking devices and warnings. All provisions increase restrictions on access, transfer, manufacture, and storage of firearms; no provisions expand access or preempt local rules.
