Grants for state and local firearm destruction
If enacted, this bill would create a federal grant program run by the Attorney General to pay for destroying firearms. It would authorize $15 million per year for each year from fiscal 2026 through 2031. States, Tribal governments, units of local government, and their law enforcement agencies could apply for competitive two-year grants. Grants would be awarded within 180 days after the money is appropriated. No more than 10% of each grant could be used for administrative costs. One-third of total funding would be set aside for applicants in a large metro area or a rural area. Grantees must keep records, develop written destruction policies, and provide documented proof that firearms and all parts were fully destroyed. Funds could buy destruction equipment, pay contractors who fully destroy guns and parts, and train staff.
