Advancing Gun Safety Technology Act
HR 4918, the Advancing Gun Safety Technology Act, authorizes a $10 million pilot program for fiscal year 2026 to fund small businesses (under 500 employees) developing gun safety technology. The program provides grants to create devices like smart guns, childproof locks, or personalized safes that reduce accidental or unauthorized use. Grantees must report on milestones including prototype development, testing, and plans for bringing these technologies to market. The bill directly affects small gun technology developers by providing federal funding and reporting requirements for their safety-focused products.
