Why the model tagged it this way: The bill directs the FTC to create and enforce rules banning specific forms of firearm and accessory marketing/advertising aimed at or appealing to minors (under 18), treating violations as unfair/deceptive practices. This adds new limits on industry practices related to firearms, fitting the industry-liability subtag as it regulates manufacturers/dealers/importers with potential penalties; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
