Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a dedicated state office and advisory council focused on preventing and addressing gun violence through coordination, grantmaking, data collection, research, public education, training, and policy recommendations. This supports and institutionalizes efforts that lead to greater restrictions on firearms access and use, though the bill itself enacts no specific new restrictions, bans, or requirements on gun ownership, purchase, or carry. All provisions fall under the firearms/other tag with a consistent direction; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
