The purpose of this legislation, known as the "Safe Storage Saves Lives Act," is to enhance gun safety by ensuring that every person who purchases a firearm receives a compatible gun lock. This is aimed at reducing the risk of accidental shootings and unauthorized access to firearms, particularly by children. Key provisions of the law include a requirement that all firearm sellers must provide a secure gun storage device that is compatible with the firearm being sold. This means that when someone buys a gun, they must also receive a gun lock that fits that specific firearm.
