Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new criminal offense for trafficking firearms to foreign terrorist organizations (with an exemption for licensed dealers), expands a state prevention and detection program for unlawful firearm transfers to Mexico, and adds annual reporting requirements on firearm transfers and handgun carry licenses. All provisions increase restrictions on firearms transfers; no provisions expand firearm access or address any other listed topic.
