Congress Proposes Bill Requiring Safety Locks for All Gun Sales and New Tax Credits for Storage Gear
Stalled
No legislative action in over 90 days.
Licensed firearm dealers would face new requirements to include safe storage devices with every rifle and shotgun sale, adding to their compliance burden and potentially increasing per-unit costs. However, retailers who sell safe storage devices could claim a new tax credit worth 10% of the sale price (up to $400 per device), which would offset some costs and could create a new revenue stream for gun shops that stock safety accessories.
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Sent to a congressional committee for expert review. The committee decides whether this bill moves forward.
