Why the model tagged it this way: The bill deletes the definition of ammunition dealers and removes them from the MCC requirements imposed on firearm dealers by the 2024 law, which had treated ammunition sales under the firearms MCC for tracking purposes. This reduces regulatory burdens on ammunition sellers without affecting firearm dealers, resulting in an expansion of the firearms axis by easing restrictions on ammunition-related commerce.
