NSSF CEO Joe Bartozzi Testifies in Support of Safe Firearm Storage Ammoland Inc. Posted on IMG iStock-936533712 The committee largely discussed proposed federal legislation, Ethan’s Law, to mandate firearm storage requirements and penalties on gun owners. No one disagreed on the critical importance of limiting unintentional firearm accidents and deaths. But speaking for the firearm industry, Bartozzi touted the effectiveness and proven success record that NSSF’s safe storage initiative Project ChildSafe has had on reducing firearm tragedies. Pillars of a responsible gun-owning community, Bartozzi said, include a focus on industry-led efforts, proactive education, and individual responsibility toward safe and responsible gun storage in the home, not a one-size-fits-all federal law.
