Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds licensing, recordkeeping, reporting, and specific destruction-method requirements for anyone in the business of destroying firearms (with exceptions only for government entities), plus grants to facilitate such destruction and public disclosure rules.

No provisions address transgender, abortion, or immigration-enforcement topics.
