↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Removes ammunition from the list of items requiring a background check for purchase, and repeals related provisions including the background check fund, so fewer background checks are required overall.
The division is hereby authorized and directed to serve as a state point of contact for implementation of 18 U.S.C. sec. 922 (t), all federal regulations and applicable guidelines adopted pursuant thereto, and the national instant criminal background check system for the purchase of firearms [deleted: and ammunition].
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill removes ammunition and ammunition sales from background check requirements by repealing or amending multiple provisions that had imposed those checks, and repeals the associated background check fund. This expands the firearms axis by reducing restrictions on ammunition purchases. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
