Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a prohibition preventing people subject to sex-offender registration from purchasing firearms and updates related notification and registration-form requirements to inform them of this prohibition. This directly restricts firearm purchase access for that group under the firearms topic; no provisions address transgender, abortion, or immigration-enforcement topics.
