AI Summary

This bill proposes several measures to improve firearms safety and accessibility of storage devices in Vermont. It aims to create a special fund that would provide financial subsidies to Vermont residents specifically for purchasing firearms storage devices like gun safes and trigger locks. The bill would also eliminate sales tax on all firearms storage devices, making them more affordable for gun owners. Additionally, the legislation would mandate that firearms dealers include a trigger lock with each firearm they sell, which is a safety device that prevents a gun from being accidentally discharged by blocking the trigger mechanism. By implementing these provisions, the bill seeks to encourage responsible gun ownership, reduce the risk of accidental shootings, and make gun safety equipment more accessible and affordable for Vermont residents.
