We’ve been waiting for this moment, and it’s finally here. Safe storage is on the House floor and could be voted on at any moment.
We cannot afford to wait. The data is clear and the stakes are life and death:
Firearms are now the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. Every day that passes without secure storage requirements is a day we leave our children vulnerable to preventable tragedies.
Washington now ranks in the top 10 states for the rate of firearms stolen from vehicles. These unsecured firearms don’t just disappear; they flow directly into the underground market and fuel violent crime in our neighborhoods.
HB 1152 is a common-sense solution that requires firearms to be stored securely in vehicles and residences. It is a proven way to prevent accidental shootings, youth suicides, and gun theft.
Will you take 60 seconds to tell your Representative to vote YES on HB 1152?
Thank you for standing with us.
Onward,
