=No change to gun accessmodel confidence 80%
The bill bans sales on state property but contains no provisions on background checks or purchase procedures.
This section does not apply to any of the following: (a) A gun buyback event held by a law enforcement agency.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new penal law section banning sales of firearms and ammunition on broadly defined state property (including local government property and fairgrounds), with exceptions for law enforcement buybacks, pre-existing contracts, and agency purchases; this directly restricts locations for legal firearm sales. No provisions address background checks, carry rights, accessories, red-flag orders, storage, preemption, or industry liability, so only the 'other' firearms tag applies substantively; a neutral tag was added for purchase-background-checks due to the buyback exception but it does
