Requires federal licenses for businesses that destroy firearms and creates grants for governments to pay for destruction.
This bill would require businesses that destroy firearms to get a federal license from the Attorney General. It would set new rules for how firearms are destroyed, especially those from government agencies, and require these businesses to report how many firearms they destroy each year. The bill would also create a grant program to help state, local, and Tribal governments pay for these destruction services.
Currently, there is no specific federal license required for businesses that destroy firearms. There are also no explicit federal rules or reporting requirements for how firearms are destroyed or how many are destroyed each year. This bill would require a federal license for any person or business destroying firearms. It would establish definitions for 'firearm destroyer' and 'covered method of firearm destruction,' mandate specific destruction methods for government-sourced firearms, require annual reporting on destroyed firearms, and create a grant program for governments to fund firearm destruction.
