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 bill mandates the CPSC to initiate a rulemaking process within 90 days to set standards for firearm locks, which must be sufficiently difficult for unauthorized users to deactivate or remove and prevent the firearm's discharge unless the lock is deactivated or removed. The bill also requires the CPSC to set standards for firearm safes, which must reliably secure firearms from unauthorized users and include reliable security features, quality, and construction to prevent unauthorized access by damaging or physically manipulating the safe. The bill authorizes $2 million in appropriations for the CPSC to carry out these provisions.
