Bill > HR1272

This bill aims to improve firearm safety by requiring federal firearms licensees (FFLs) to provide secure storage information to customers when selling firearms. Specifically, the bill mandates that FFLs must give prospective firearm buyers detailed guidance on safe firearm storage, including recommendations to store firearms unloaded, out of reach of children, and separately from ammunition. The Attorney General will develop regulations detailing the specific storage information within six months of the bill's enactment. Additionally, the bill requires FFLs to stock a variety of secure gun storage devices like full-size gun safes, lock boxes, and trigger locks. To incentivize gun safe purchases, the bill also introduces a tax credit of up to $500 for individuals who buy qualified gun safes, gun cases, or other secure storage devices designed to be unlocked only by authorized users. The provisions aim to reduce risks associated with unsecured firearms, such as accidental shootings, child access, suicide, and theft, by promoting responsible firearm storage practices. The bill's provisions will take effect six months after its enactment, giving businesses and consumers time to adapt to the new requirements.
