The bill would require people in the business of destroying firearms to get a federal firearms license. It would set a standard for fully destroying firearms received from government agencies, require annual public reports on destruction, and require public disclosure of charges to government agencies. It would also create grants for state, local, and Tribal governments to pay licensed dealers to destroy firearms.
The requirements would apply to firearm destruction businesses and government entities that use their services. The bill does not describe new requirements for individuals who are not in that business. The Attorney General would set acceptable destruction methods and recordkeeping rules.
The bill authorizes appropriations of amounts considered necessary for the grants, but does not specify a dollar amount. No publicly available information is provided about other costs.
