Home » Bill Introduced to Promote Commercialization of "Life-Saving" Gun Safety Technology
Congresswomen Jackie Speier (CA-14) and Zoe Lofgren (CA-19) introduced a bill to help innovators bring potentially life-saving gun safety technology to market. The Advancing Gun Safety Technology Act would support private-sector commercialization of gun-safety technology by authorizing a $10 million pilot program.
Entities with initial product designs and demonstrable commitment to reducing unintentional or unauthorized shootings would be eligible to apply for a grant, says a press release. Reps. Speier and Lofgren were joined by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, Chair of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and Reps. Lucille Roybal-Allard, John Garamendi, Alcee Hastings, Stephen Lynch and Eleanor Holmes Norton in introducing the legislation.
