Increases the mandatory minimum sentence for a second or subsequent conviction of using or displaying a firearm while committing a listed felony, from five to 10 years.
to a mandatory minimum term of [deleted: five] 10 years for a second or subsequent conviction under the provisions of this section.
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.
