S 2088 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Firearm Destruction Licensure Act of 2025

This bill creates a new licensing requirement for businesses that destroy firearms, requiring them to obtain an ATF license under existing regulations. It defines a "firearm destroyer" as any business engaged in permanently disabling firearms (using a "covered method" that prevents restoration to working condition), while excluding government entities. Key provisions mandate annual reporting to the ATF on destroyed firearms, require using approved destruction methods, and establish grants for government entities to fund such destruction. The law applies to businesses, not individual gun owners or law enforcement agencies, and takes effect 180 days after enactment.
