Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new criminal offense under Penal Code 46.06 for a person prohibited from possessing a certain type of firearm to knowingly purchase or receive a magazine designed for that firearm, and defines 'magazine'; this restricts access to firearm accessories. It also bars use of related sales data for registries (except NICS), which expands by limiting data collection on owners or magazines.
