firearms; destruction by state

SB 1359 amends Arizona law to change how unclaimed firearms are handled and prevents local governments from enacting stricter firearm regulations. It requires that unclaimed firearms be sold to licensed dealers (not destroyed) after 30 days, unless prohibited by law, and allows law enforcement to trade firearms for equipment. The bill also blocks cities or counties from creating rules that conflict with state firearm laws, including bans on local licensing, registration, or more restrictive penalties. Exceptions include limited restrictions on minors in public places and minor tax rules for firearms sales.
