↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 85%
Requires new handguns sold at retail to incorporate childproofing mechanisms that prevent an average 5-year-old from firing them, so more restrictions on how firearms can be manufactured and sold without such features.
No person, firm, limited liability company or corporation engaged in the retail business of selling rifles, shotguns or firearms shall sell, deliver or transfer any child operated firearm to another person.

↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Mandates that pistols and revolvers manufactured one year after the effective date must contain childproofing devices or mechanisms (such as 10-pound trigger pull or multiple motions to fire), prohibiting sale of those that do not, so more restrictions on firearm design and sales.
"child operated firearm" means a pistol or revolver manufactured twelve months or more after the effective date of this section which does not contain a childproofing device or mechanism incorporated into the design of such pistol or revolver to effectively preclude an average five year old child from operating the pistol or revolver.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new penal law section prohibiting retail sale of handguns lacking built-in childproofing mechanisms designed to prevent operation by an average 5-year-old, with the superintendent of state police to set minimum standards for such devices. This directly imposes design and sales restrictions on firearms to enhance child safety, fitting the firearms topic under storage-minors and weapon-accessory-restrictions subtags. No provisions address transgender, abortion, or immigration-enforcement topics.
