Direct the Department of Justice (DOJ) to establish voluntary best practices for safe firearm storage and to publish online and in print for public accessibility; Impose labeling requirements on specified handgun, rifle, and shotgun manufacturers to provide a clear and conspicuous notice on packaging that says, “Safe Storage Saves Lives” along with the address of the public website providing best practices established by the DOJ; and Provide grant funding for the development, implementation, and evaluation of Safe Firearm Storage Assistance Programs, community-based efforts that promote secure storage practices through education, outreach, and local partnerships.

Kelly fulfilled the specific promise to support legislation by sponsoring and introducing H.R. 7500, the Responsible Firearms Marketing Act, on February 11, 2026. The bill directly matches the promised policy: directing the FTC to study unfair or deceptive firearm advertising and marketing practices and issue regulations prohibiting them. Because the promise was framed as supporting legislation rather than securing enactment, introduction/sponsorship during her current federal term is sufficient for delivery even though the bill remained referred to committee.
