Bill > S193

This bill, titled "Ethan's Law," amends the United States Code to require the safe storage of firearms. Specifically, it establishes that it is unlawful for a person to store a firearm if they know or reasonably should know that a minor or a resident who is ineligible to possess a firearm can access it, unless the firearm is secured using a device or stored in a secure location. The bill also creates a federal grant program to assist eligible states and tribes in enforcing laws that are functionally identical to this safe storage requirement. Additionally, the bill expresses the sense of Congress that failure to comply with the safe storage provision constitutes negligence and could be deemed the legal or proximate cause of any harm resulting from the discharge of the unsecured firearm.
