The Safe Storage of Firearms Act of 2023 (S. 726) aims to reduce gun violence and accidental shootings by requiring gun owners to safely secure their firearms when not in use. Tragically, hundreds of lives are lost each year due to improperly stored guns accessible to children and those struggling with mental health issues. This common-sense legislation would mandate that all guns be secured with trigger locks or stored in a secure, locked container when not being lawfully used. By keeping firearms out of the wrong hands, we can prevent needless tragedies while still respecting the rights of lawful gun owners. As a concerned citizen, I urge you to support this bill and take action to make our communities safer.
