Why the model tagged it this way: The bill directs creation of a gun violence alert system as part of NY-Alert to notify subscribers in the vicinity of incidents; this addresses firearms via a public safety notification tool but does not change rules on buying, owning, carrying, or accessing firearms themselves.
