Why the model tagged it this way: The bill only amends federal workers' compensation law (5 USC 8143b) to extend a presumption of work-related illness to specific ATF fire investigators and response team members. It has no provisions affecting the ability to buy, own, carry or make firearms or accessories, nor any of the other tracked topics.
