Why the model tagged it this way: The bill has two main provisions on firearms/storage-minors: one expands awareness/education on safe storage and child access prevention laws (restricts axis by encouraging compliance), while the other repeals an existing safe-storage mandate from a 2024 law (expands axis by removing a legal requirement). No other topics are substantively addressed.
