Because of advocates like you, Pennsylvania is closer than it’s been in years to passing secure storage legislation. We need to keep the momentum going. Nearly 1 in 5 gun-owning parents store firearms loaded and accessible to kids, and the consequences are devastating.
Just two weeks ago, a 14-year-old girl in Upper Darby was killed by a firearm left unsecured in her home. Pennsylvania still has no law requiring gun owners to store their firearms securely.
Rep. Tim Briggs has officially started recruiting co-sponsors for HB 2244, Pennsylvania’s secure storage bill. Now, we need to get this bill the attention — and vote — it deserves.
One thing that will make this legislation impossible to ignore is an overwhelming number of co-sponsors when it’s officially introduced on the House floor. That’s where you come in.
Send a message to your legislator now, telling them to protect PA kids by co-sponsoring HB 2244, Pennsylvania’s secure storage bill. |
The House will be back in session next week, and on Tuesday, they’ll be getting in-person visits from our Advocacy Day volunteers. Your message to your state representative today will be a part of a coordinated push to get this bill signed into law so we can save lives. Our kids shouldn't have to bear the burden of adult inaction. No matter where your rep stands, they need to hear from you about this bill. Momentum is on our side, and we can prevent the next tragedy — but only if our lawmakers act.
