A03873 Requires that firearms surrendered under a municipal gun buyback program shall be rendered inoperable, and all components unable to be reused; prohibits the acceptance of firearms which were manufactured for the purpose of surrender for remuneration.

Direction

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds requirements to municipal gun buyback programs under the executive law to ensure surrendered firearms are fully destroyed and ineligible if made specifically to exploit the program for cash. This affects firearm disposal and access by preventing reuse or resale of buyback guns, fitting the firearms topic under the 'other' subtag with a restricting effect; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
