↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 75%
Broadens who qualifies as a 'resident' of a state under federal gun law (including military and homeless via mailbox), enabling more interstate firearm purchases from dealers without being treated as a non-resident, so greater ability to buy firearms across state lines.
The term `State of residence' means-- (i) the State in which an individual resides; (ii) in the case of an individual, or spouse of an individual, who is an active duty member of the Armed Forces-- (I) the State in which the permanent duty station of the member is located; and (II) the State in which the member maintains a place of abode from which the member commutes each day to the permanent duty station of the member; or (iii) in the case of an individual who does not have a physical residence in any State, the State in which an individual maintains a private mailbox or post office box.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends 18 USC 921 to expand the definitions of 'State of residence' and 'resident' for purposes of federal firearms purchases and background checks under the Gun Control Act, allowing individuals (including military members and those without a physical home) to be treated as residents of additional states. This has the effect of expanding the ability to buy and possess firearms across state lines by reducing non-resident restrictions. The excerpt cuts off at the NICS provision, but the core change is definitional and expands access consistent with the bill's title.
