TL;DR, the bills are unethical, illogical, and/or ineffective at best and outright harmful and/or malicious at worst. Their objective with these laws isn't about stopping crime, but is rather they're about making legal compliance tedious to the point that it's too inconvenient for most people to bother HB 218 goes against Due Process and "innocent until proven guilty" by requiring a person to hand over their weapons (a literal constitutional right) on untried accusations. This could be easily abused by a potential criminal to disarm a victim. Even if they really intended to do harm to themselves or others, the 24 hour timer gives them a timeline to follow through on it by. HB 173 is illogical since it makes 18-20 year olds into psudo-children who are mature enough to sign up to fight and kill in a war, but are too young to own the vast majority of modern firearms privately. To really hammer this home, it exempts state actors like military and police. HB 576 is somewhat reasonable, but it's important to note a huge portion of the registry is made up of minors who get caught taking d*ck pics of themselves, as opposed to disciples of Jeffery Epstein. HB 103 is dumb since a county having [XXX,XXX] people means nothing if you're in the part where no one else actually lives. SB 80 is the same as any "Assault weapon" ban in the sense that it's about "looks like a movie prop = bad" and not anything to do with "assault" capability. AWBs are already headed to the supreme court, where it's expected to get declared unconstitutional. HB 606 is worse than HB 173 since it makes it so all guns are prohibited. (Except for if the government is the one to give it to you) HB 610 is the same as HB 606. HB 857 is just a milder version of HB 173. HB 771 doesn't even say who it's making into second-class citizens. Released details only say "specified recipients". Maybe it's another attempt to screw over adult teens, but it could also end up being something worse. HB 806 is the same as HB 771. HB 613 only serves to extort people out of money and put people in jail for not jumping through hoops. It's already illegal to sell a gun to a criminal, making background checks mandatory under threat of jail time won't stop crime, it will only make it more expensive to sell/trade/gift between friends. HB 612 is more or less the same as HB 576. HB 609 sounds noble, but it really just means "keep your gun unloaded in a locked box, where you won't have time to get it out during an actual home invasion. Otherwise, we'll lock you in a concrete box and tear your life apart". HB 658 is merely taking HB 609 further. HB 618 seems to be a tie-in to the "screw over adult teens" bills. HB 659 is, at best, redundant with federal straw-purchase law. At worst, it's actively trying to get people in trouble for no reason and/or trying to make records of potential political dissidents. HB 660 is one of those bills that is just trying to make it look like there's some kind of "loophole" in federal law that doesn't exist. Owning a gun and keeping it after being prohibited from possession is already a crime. HB 712 is just dumb. A library doesn't need a no-weapons policy. People typically don't start shootouts in libraries, but making them a soft target could change things. HB 776 is needless, as laws like this already exist and they're already way too far-reaching, so whatever they do more is probably obnoxious. HB 859 a modified version of HB 103. The same problems apply.
