            TITLE IV--SECURE STORAGE OF FIREARMS ACT OF 2001

SEC. 401. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Secure Storage of Firearms Act of 
2001''.

SEC. 402. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Helping responsible gun owners to provide for the 
        secure storage of firearms in their homes would reduce access 
        by children to firearms and help protect children from both 
        accidental and intentional shootings, and would make firearms 
        less likely to be stolen and later used in the commission of 
        crimes.
            (2) Americans own over 223,000,000 firearms, including 
        77,000,000 handguns, and approximately 41 percent of American 
        households contain at least 1 firearm.
            (3) Approximately 25 percent of middle school and high 
        school children have handled a firearm without adult 
        supervision, and an estimated 90 percent of accidental 
        shootings by children are linked to the presence of an 
        unlocked, loaded firearm in the home.
            (4) In 1998, the most recent year for which statistics are 
        available--
                    (A) 121 children under the age of 15 and 260 
                persons between the ages of 15 and 24 were killed in 
                accidental shootings;
                    (B) 154 children under the age of 15 and 2,510 
                persons between the ages of 15 and 24 committed suicide 
                using a firearm; and
                    (C) 317 children under the age of 15 and 4,559 
                persons between the ages of 15 and 24 were murdered 
                with a firearm.
            (5) As of 1998, suicide was the sixth leading cause of 
        death among children between the ages of 5 and 14 and the third 
        leading cause of death among people between the ages of 15 and 
        24. Firearms were used in 57 percent of all suicides.
            (6) In February 1999, an analysis of firearms used in 
        crimes committed during the 3 preceding years in 27 cities was 
        released by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The 
        Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms found that 35 percent 
        of the 76,260 guns used in crimes committed by 18- to 24-year-
        olds had been stolen from private residences or gun dealers. 
        Many of these guns were undoubtedly stolen during the course of 
        the more than 5,000,000 burglaries committed in the United 
        States each year.
