Why the model tagged it this way: The bill's core provision adds ammunition to the background-check regime already required for firearms under s. 790.065, with only narrow exceptions for on-site range/hunting transfers. This directly restricts the ability to buy or transfer ammunition without a check. No other tracked topics (transgender, abortion, immigration-enforcement) are addressed.
