Key Points
This bill, introduced by Representative Frost, would require businesses that are paid to destroy guns to get rid of every single part of the weapon. Currently, some companies only destroy one specific part, like the frame, and sell the rest of the pieces as kits.
People who build untraceable 'ghost guns' often use these leftover parts to make new firearms. By requiring the destruction of all components, the bill aims to stop these 'zombie guns' from ending up back on the street.
The law would apply to any person or company that destroys guns as a regular part of their business to make money. It ensures that when a police department or individual pays to have a gun destroyed, the entire weapon is actually destroyed.
If a business fails to destroy every part, they could face a fine or up to two years in prison. Licensed gun dealers who break this rule could also have their federal licenses suspended or permanently taken away.
