Gun Suicide Prevention Act
HR 5467, the Gun Suicide Prevention Act, requires firearm manufacturers and retailers to attach a specific label to all firearms and their packaging. The label must be in both English and Spanish, display the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline phone number, and include a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark before the hotline message. This mandate applies to all firearms sold in the U.S. and takes effect two years after enactment. Violations would be enforced under the Consumer Product Safety Act, subjecting offenders to existing penalties for safety violations. The bill directly affects firearm sellers by requiring this standardized suicide prevention information on all products.
