↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 95%
Requires background checks through a licensed dealer for private sales and transfers of firearms (with limited exceptions), so more restrictions on who can acquire firearms.
A person may not sell or otherwise transfer a firearm to another person unless: (1) the person is a licensed firearms dealer; (2) the person sells or transfers the firearm to a licensed firearms dealer; or (3) before the firearm is delivered to the person to whom the firearm is being sold or transferred, the person selling or transferring the firearm delivers the firearm to a licensed firearms dealer to retain possession of the firearm until the dealer conducts a national instant criminal background check

↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Creates new criminal offenses for acquiring a firearm or ammunition while prohibited by state or federal law (beyond just federal 922(g)(4)), for making false statements on transfer forms while prohibited, and for failing to report a lost or stolen firearm within 10 days, so more restrictions on who
knowingly acquires or attempts to acquire a firearm or ammunition while the actor is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition by a state law or a federal law other than 18 U.S.C. Section 922(g)(4).
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill primarily restricts firearm access by mandating NICS background checks for private transfers (with family and inheritance exceptions) and by expanding unlawful-acquisition offenses plus adding a duty to report lost/stolen guns. Insurance-proof and court-advisory provisions produce no substantive change in firearm access or restrictions.
