↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Requires agencies to disassemble and destroy guns bought in buyback programs, with video and logging requirements, and bans resale or transfer of such guns (with felony penalty), so fewer such firearms remain available or in circulation.
All agencies participating in a gun buyback program authorized under this section shall dispose of all purchased guns, rifles, and firearms in the following manner: (a) Such guns, rifles, and firearms shall be disassembled and destroyed.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill only addresses procedures for destroying firearms acquired via government buyback programs and prohibits their resale/transfer; it does not change general rules on buying, owning, carrying, background checks, or other firearms topics.
