Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates creation of a centralized, electronic, searchable national database of all dealer firearm records for tracing and law enforcement use, plus voluntary transfer of older paper records to ATF; both provisions increase federal record-keeping and tracing capacity for firearms without adding new purchase, carry, or ownership limits.
