Get ahold of your representatives, and senators. Tell them no until all this gun control is removed.
I am not positive that this is the correct part now. The letters to the appropriate members of Congress notes Sec 1075, but that is not correct and doesn't mention the pilot program for safe storage.Found it within the bill.

“Free” until required because it was a “good idea”.Help me out - giving away free gun lockers is gun control?
Am I missing something?
Maybe it's for off base.Aren’t personal weapons required to be stored in the armory when living on base? Feel like I heard that.
Well from experience you get volunteered for things you don't want to do. If you don't comply they will make you wish you had many times over. So saying it's voluntary is false. It will be enforced with incentives of why you don't want to say no.Maybe it's for off base.
Skylar Nemetz had a gun locker, but it didn't stop him from shooting his wife.
My main objection to this is the cost and paperwork of compiling all the statistics to prove it doesn't actually reduce suicide rates.
I guess maybe it could if the GI Joe locks up his guns before he goes away and leaves a depressed new mom home alone... I don't know, but simply giving a locker or padlock thingy to a willing person then asking them two years later, "Did you kill yourself?" seems pretty weak as far as gun control is concerned.
I'd rather spend that money on making sure servicemen get good mental health care.
Wake me up when they insert "mandated use" into a bill, till then...
The armory thing is typically if you live in the barracks, if you have family/on post housing you can have firearms but they all have to be registered with the Provost.I forgot to add it will definitely be off base because all personal firearms are supposed to be turned over to the Armory if you are on base. Unless you are going hunting, range practice, or going on vacation that's where they remain.
