Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds authorization for Byrne JAG grants to fund giveaway programs for gun safes or equivalent locking storage devices provided at no cost. This matches the firearms/storage-minors topic by promoting secure storage (even though not limited to minors in the text) and is classified as expands because it increases availability of storage options without adding restrictions. A secondary neutral tag covers the overall grant authorization as funding-only with no change to underlying firearm rules.
