Never underestimate the ability of certain Members of Congress to waste taxpayer dollars and time on proposed legislation that’s either already being done or will do nothing to improve community safety.
Burning tax dollars for press releases gives Congress the appearance of “doing something” but the reality is that some ideas are just plain dumb.
Take for example U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-Mich.) Safe Storage Saves Lives Act, H.R. 4201, that would require “firearm retailer[s] have a compatible gun lock available for every firearm for sale” and states that it “shall be unlawful for any person to offer a firearm for sale unless the person offers for sale a secure gun storage or safety device that is compatible with the firearm,” according to a Fox News report.
