Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the Gun Control Act's prohibited-purchaser list to include those under pretrial release orders banning firearm possession and updates NICS/Brady provisions to enforce denials on that basis; it also funds reporting of such orders to the background-check system. All changes increase restrictions on firearm purchases by this group of people.
