Bill Summary
Requires safety standards for firearm locks and safes. Under such standards, firearm locks must be reasonably designed to (1) prevent the firearm from discharging while the lock is activated, and (2) prevent unauthorized access to the firearm. Further, firearm safes must be reasonably designed to (1) secure firearms, and (2) prevent unauthorized access to the safe through physical manipulation or damage.
AI Summary
This bill, the Safe Gun Storage Act of 2019, requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to establish consumer product safety standards for firearm locks and firearm safes. The standards for firearm locks must ensure they are sufficiently difficult to deactivate or remove, and prevent the firearm from discharging unless the lock is deactivated or removed. The standards for firearm safes must ensure they reliably secure firearms from unauthorized users and have reliable security features, quality, and construction to prevent unauthorized access. The bill also authorizes $2 million in appropriations for the CPSC to carry out these provisions.
