Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a requirement to deny ammunition background checks for persons prohibited under state/federal law or subject to an ERPO, directly restricting access to ammunition under the firearms topic (purchase-background-checks and red-flag-erpo subtags). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
