Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Law §400.00 to prohibit any gun license applications or accompanying literature from containing explicit written warnings about firearm ownership or use; this removes a form of restriction or cautionary information, expanding the firearms axis per the topic definition. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
