Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds requirements for reporting NICS firearm denial information to local law enforcement and prosecutors, plus a mandate to begin criminal investigations, which imposes additional procedures aimed at restricting access to firearms by prohibited persons. No provisions address transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
