Plain-English Summary

The federal government would provide funding to develop and promote safe firearm storage devices that prevent unauthorized access, particularly by children and teenagers. This money would support research, manufacturing, and distribution of locks, safes, and other storage solutions designed to reduce accidental shootings and theft of firearms. Gun owners, manufacturers, and public health organizations would be the primary beneficiaries of these grants.
