Saving Our Veterans Lives Act of 2025
The Saving Our Veterans Lives Act of 2025 establishes a Department of Veterans Affairs program to provide eligible veterans with secure firearm lockboxes and educational materials on safe storage, aiming to support suicide prevention. The program distributes lockboxes meeting specific safety standards (e.g., key or combination-locked, U.S.-made, non-resale) and partners with organizations to run public education campaigns, clarifying that participation does not affect lawful firearm ownership. The VA must report annually to Congress on program reach and challenges, and the bill authorizes $5 million yearly (2026-2036) to fund the initiative.
