Direction

Firearms storage minorsAI label

Restricts gun access model confidence 90%

Requires gun dealers to provide a safe storage device with every handgun, rifle, or shotgun sale and creates grants plus a tax credit to promote and distribute safe storage devices, so more households will use locked storage and fewer unauthorized (including by minors) will access guns.

Section 922(z) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by striking ``handgun'' each place it appears and inserting ``handgun, rifle, or shotgun''.
