Community Firearm Safety Act of 2026

Gun Safety: Free Gun Safe Programs

Law

This bill would allow state and local governments to use existing federal grant money to buy and give away gun safes. These grants are usually used for law enforcement and crime prevention, but this change would let them be used for home safety tools.
The goal is to help people store their firearms more securely at home. By providing safes or locking devices for free, the policy aims to prevent accidents, suicides, and gun thefts by keeping weapons out of the wrong hands.
Under this plan, any device designed to store a gun that requires a key, combination, or similar lock would qualify for the program. Individuals would be able to receive these storage tools at no cost to them.
This change does not create new taxes or a new government department. Instead, it simply adds gun safe giveaways to the list of things local police and community groups can already do with the federal money they receive.
