Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Texas Penal Code §1.10 to bar state/local agencies from assisting federal enforcement of certain new (post-2021 or post-2025) restrictions on firearms, accessories, and especially ammunition acquisition, manufacture, possession limits, background checks on private transfers, registries, licensing, confiscation, and forced sales. This is a 'Second Amendment sanctuary' style preemption of federal gun/ammo rules that do not match state law, expanding the ability to acquire, make, and possess firearms and ammunition by limiting enforcement cooperation.
