Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses firearms by banning IRS acquisition/storage of guns/ammo (restricts agency possession) and mandating their sale to dealers/public (expands civilian access). No other listed topics are substantively addressed; the transfer of criminal investigation duties to DOJ is outside the defined topics.
