Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to improve firearm destruction practices, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Destroy Zombie Guns Act," aims to improve how firearms are destroyed by amending existing federal law, specifically Title 18 of the United States Code. The key provision makes it illegal for anyone in the business of destroying firearms to fail to destroy every single component of a firearm that has been shipped across state lines or internationally. The bill also clarifies what it means to be "engaged in the business" of destroying firearms, defining it as someone who regularly dedicates time and effort to destroying firearms or their parts as a primary way to earn a profit. Violating this new destruction requirement can result in fines, up to two years in prison, and for licensed firearm destroyers, potential suspension or permanent revocation of their license by the Attorney General.
