Kimberly Vaughan Firearm Safe Storage Act
Refreshed 1 h ago
Introduced 2026-04-30Topic: criminal justiceSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require licensed gun sellers to provide a secure storage or safety device with every rifle and shotgun sold, not only handguns as under current law. Starting January 1, 2029, larger gun manufacturers and importers would have to include a written notice with each gun stating "SAFE STORAGE SAVES LIVES" and listing a federal website. The Attorney General would create and publish voluntary safe storage guidelines for homes, vehicles, businesses, and storage facilities. The bill would also allow $10 million per year in grants to states and tribes to give out safe storage devices, and create a business tax credit of 10 percent on retail sales of these devices through 2035.
