↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Requires owners to report lost or stolen firearms to law enforcement within 10 days or face a criminal penalty, and requires peace officers to forward those reports to a state database and the NCIC, so more restrictions on firearms.
A person commits an offense if the person: (1) owns a firearm that is subsequently lost by or stolen from the person; and (2) fails to report the loss or theft, or cause a report of the loss or theft to be made, to a peace officer or law enforcement agency not later than the 10th day after the date the person became aware the firearm was lost or stolen.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a reporting requirement for lost or stolen firearms backed by a new Class C (or B on repeat) misdemeanor offense and requires peace officers to forward reports to state and federal databases. This directly addresses firearms by imposing a new obligation on owners and law enforcement. It does not mention storage requirements, minors, or any other listed topic, so only the firearms/other tag applies substantively; the storage-minors tag is neutral because the bill text contains no provision on that axis.
