Why the model tagged it this way: The bill regulates the commercial activity of destroying firearms by requiring federal licenses, defining 'covered methods' of destruction that fully render firearms unusable, imposing reporting requirements on licensed firearm destroyers, setting conditions for handling government-submitted firearms, authorizing grants for such destruction, and adding penalties for unlicensed activity. This adds restrictions and oversight to the firearm destruction industry but does not alter the underlying ability of individuals to buy, own, carry, or make firearms or accessories, so it is neutral on the net
