This bill significantly expands federal requirements concerning firearm safety devices, amending existing law to broaden the scope of who must provide a gun lock and for which types of firearms. It changes the requirement from applying only to handguns sold by licensed dealers to encompassing all firearms transferred by any person . This ensures that a compatible gun lock is provided with every firearm transfer, regardless of the seller's license status or the firearm type. The legislation further mandates that any person offering a firearm for sale must also offer a compatible secure gun storage or safety device for sale . To enforce this, it establishes new civil penalties of up to $1,000 for non-licensed individuals who violate this "offer for sale" provision. Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of a "secure gun storage or safety device." Congress also expresses a sense that fines collected from these violations should be used to fund the distribution of free or reduced-cost gun locks or public awareness campaigns.
