↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Adds a mandatory 5-year prison sentence enhancement for any felony committed while in possession of a firearm, increasing the penalty for crimes involving firearms.
When a person is convicted of a felony offense that has been committed while in the possession or accompaniment of a firearm, the court's sentence of such defendant in accordance with the provisions of article seventy of this title shall include a mandatory additional sentence of imprisonment for five years.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a sentencing enhancement specifically tied to firearm possession during a felony, which is a general violent-crime penalty that mentions a firearm; per the topic definition this falls under firearms/other and restricts the axis by imposing greater punishment for firearm-involved offenses.
