Why the model tagged it this way: The bill directs the FTC to study firearm advertising and marketing practices and then promulgate regulations prohibiting those deemed unfair or deceptive, with emphasis on youth appeal, illegal use implications, and semiautomatic assault weapons; this imposes new regulatory limits on industry marketing without changing rules on firearm purchase, ownership, carry, or other access.
