Why the model tagged it this way: The bill narrows the 'firearm' definition by adding an exclusion for stun guns (reducing restrictions on them) while striking the prior exclusion for certain antique/curio firearms and replicas that combine firearm and knife features (subjecting them to firearm restrictions). Both changes fall under the firearms topic with subtag weapon-accessory-restrictions; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
