Why the model tagged it this way: The bill only amends penalties for using or displaying a firearm during certain violent felonies by raising the second-offense mandatory minimum from 5 to 10 years; this is a general violent-crime penalty that mentions firearms but does not change access, ownership, carrying, background checks or other rules covered by the firearms topic. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
