Gun Safety Innovation Opportunity Act of 2026

This bill would let the U.S. Attorney General give grants to colleges and universities and to firearms manufacturers. The grants would pay for research and development of technology for safe firearm storage devices, such as locks that use fingerprints or other biometric data, and for studying how to get more consumers to use these devices. The bill would authorize $10 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2030, and grant recipients would report each year on how they used the money. The Attorney General would also report to Congress within one year on how Congress can support this technology, how police could use it, and how it could help prevent self-harm and suicide attempts.
