Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Code 46.06 to make it an offense to transfer a semiautomatic rifle to a person under 21 (raising the age limit from 18 for that category of firearm), with increased penalties, which restricts access to semiautomatic rifles. It also removes the prior prohibition on transfers of any firearm to those under 18 (while retaining it for handguns and adding an affirmative defense), but the net change for the firearms topic is restrictive due to the new semiautomatic rifle rule. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
