Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new subsection to the Penal Code creating a state jail felony for transporting or purchasing a firearm with intent to move it to Mexico (unless federally authorized), which restricts the ability to buy, own, or transport firearms by imposing new criminal penalties for cross-border activity.
