The Destroy Zombie Guns Act would require that anyone professionally destroying firearms must completely destroy every component of the firearm, not leave parts intact. The bill defines "firearm destroyers" as people who make a profit by providing destruction services as their regular business. Anyone who violates this requirement would face up to 2 years in prison and fines, and licensed firearms dealers who violate the rule could have their federal licenses suspended on a first offense or revoked on subsequent violations. The term "zombie guns" refers to firearms that have been improperly destroyed, leaving reusable components that could potentially be reassembled. This legislation aims to prevent the proliferation of such weapons by tightening oversight of how firearms destruction is conducted.
