Why the model tagged it this way: The bill directs use of dynamic message signs to promote safe firearm storage as part of an existing DPS campaign; this is a public-education measure on storage (tagged to storage-minors as the most relevant subtag) that does not change any legal requirements, so the storage-minors provision is classified as restricts while the overall bill is neutral on the firearms axis.
