Why the model tagged it this way: The bill makes multiple changes to the Gun Control Act focused on licensed firearms dealers: increasing ATF inspections and personnel, raising penalties, adding suspension/revocation/civil penalty authority (including for storage and armor-piercing ammo transfers), broadening license denial/revocation standards by removing the 'willfully' requirement and adding public safety/suitability criteria, requiring inventories in trafficking-related cases, and mandating reports. All provisions increase regulatory oversight, enforcement, and consequences for dealers, with no provisions that reduce any 2
