Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds dealer reporting duties and a criminal penalty for certain multiple sales of qualifying semiautomatic rifles (those >.22 caliber capable of accepting a detachable magazine), which restricts the firearms topic via increased oversight of purchases; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
