Why the model tagged it this way: The bill directs multiple DHS components to create strategies, threat assessments, research, reports, and data-sharing mechanisms specifically targeting ghost guns (privately made firearms without serial numbers) and partially complete frames/receivers as threats for terrorism, border security, and smuggling. This increases federal oversight, information collection, and enforcement focus on these items without changing underlying purchase, manufacturing, or possession laws.
