Notes on provided metadata

Some of the accompanying metadata in the materials (references to a "SECURE Firearm Storage Act," a long federal sponsor list, and federal legislative milestones such as "Public Law No: 118‑161") appears to correspond to a different (federal) bill also numbered H.R. 1097. Those federal items are unrelated to this Arkansas House Resolution recognizing the Gravette High School wrestling team.
