Restricts gun access model confidence 90%
Expands the age of 'young adult' from under 17 to under 21, broadens the offense to cover access by this larger group, and requires secure storage or other preventive steps, so more restrictions on how adults store firearms.
"Young adult" means a person younger than 21 years of age.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the existing firearm storage offense by expanding the protected age group from children under 17 to young adults under 21, redefining 'secure' storage, adjusting defenses and penalties accordingly, and mandating dealer warning signs. This increases legal obligations and restrictions on firearm owners and dealers to prevent access by a broader group of minors/young adults. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
