This legislation, titled the Community Firearm Safety Act of 2026 , proposes an amendment to the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 . Its primary purpose is to expand the permissible uses of funds under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program . The bill specifically authorizes these federal grants to be utilized for programs that provide gun safes or other secure firearm storage devices to individuals. These devices, designed to be unlocked by a key or combination, would be distributed at no cost to recipients. This initiative aims to enhance public safety by facilitating responsible and secure firearm storage within communities.
