Why the model tagged it this way: The bill increases the criminal penalty for burglary of a vehicle specifically when it involves theft of a firearm (making it a third-degree felony), which restricts firearms by imposing harsher punishment for their theft. A separate definitional change to "enter" is general and neutral for the firearms topic. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
