Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Code §46.06 to prohibit transfers of specified semiautomatic rifles to persons under 21 (previously the limit was 18 for other firearms), creating a state jail felony for violations. This restricts access to those firearms for 18-20 year olds. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
