The Firearm Suicide Prevention (Donna’s Law) Amendment Act of 2024.
This bill establishes a voluntary registry in Washington, D.C., allowing adults to confidentially restrict their own ability to purchase, receive, transfer, or possess firearms for a period of at least 21 days after requesting removal. It enables individuals to register directly through the Metropolitan Police Department or through a health care provider, such as a mental health professional. Additionally, the legislation requires gun stores and repair businesses to display and distribute educational materials on firearm safety, suicide prevention, and conflict resolution. The primary goal is to provide a mechanism for vulnerable individuals to voluntarily limit their access to guns during times of crisis without permanently surrendering their Second Amendment rights.
