Status: Failed
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates universal background-check requirements for all firearm sales/transfers (with exceptions), expands and strengthens safe-storage rules for minors and prohibited persons (including raising the minor age), bans unserialized firearms, unfinished frames/receivers, and 3D-printed or CNC-milled guns, and mandates provision of locking devices plus enhanced warnings at retail sales. All provisions add restrictions on access, transfer, manufacture, and storage of firearms; no provisions expand access or preempt local rules.
