The Advancing Gun Safety Technology Act authorizes the Attorney General to create a pilot grant program supporting the development of gun safety technology that prevents accidental or unauthorized use of firearms. Between 3 and 5 small businesses with fewer than 500 employees would receive grants to develop technologies such as smart guns, childproof guns, personalized firearms, and locking devices with advanced security features. Recipients must report progress on key milestones including prototype development, reliability testing, trial production planning, and commercialization preparation. The bill allocates $10 million in federal funding for fiscal year 2026 to support this initiative, administered through the National Institute of Justice within the Justice Department.
