Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses only firearms regulation by raising dealer licensing fees, mandating anti-trafficking business practices and record retention, creating a new trafficking crime with enhanced penalties, and imposing heightened oversight and requirements on high-risk dealers; all provisions increase restrictions on firearms commerce, sales practices, and trafficking.
