↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Requires owners to report lost or stolen firearms to police within 24 hours or face a criminal penalty, and requires police to forward reports to a national database, so more restrictions and reporting requirements on firearms.
A person commits an offense if the person: (1) owns a firearm that is subsequently lost by or stolen from the person; and (2) not later than 24 hours after the time the person became aware the firearm was lost or stolen, fails to report the loss or theft or cause a report of the loss or theft to be made to a peace officer.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new criminal offense for owners who fail to report a lost or stolen firearm within 24 hours (Class C or B misdemeanor) and requires peace officers to report details to the state department, which forwards them to the National Crime Information Center. This adds a new reporting requirement and penalty related to firearm ownership, fitting the firearms topic as 'other' with a restricting direction. It does not address storage requirements around minors, so that subtag is neutral. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
