The White House, under the leadership of President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, has announced a new initiative focused on the safe storage of firearms, aiming to protect children by enlisting school leaders to promote awareness. The initiative is highlighted by the release of the most comprehensive federal guide on safe storage. First Lady Jill Biden is rallying educators around gun violence prevention. Congressional supporters like Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Rep. Diana DeGette, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, and Rep. Mike Quigley are advocating for stronger federal requirements, referencing the Safe Gun Storage Act and Ethan's Law. This action by President Biden addresses the issue of the estimated 4.6 million children living in homes with unsecured firearms and seeks to reduce gun violence and enhance community safety.

I am thrilled the Biden administration is taking action to promote the safe storage of firearms. We must also enact my legislation #EthansLaw, a commonsense safety measure that would require gun owners to safely and securely store their firearms. https://t.co/Qb9xoU3oWe
