Firearm Destruction Licensure Act of 2024

The Firearm Destruction Licensure Act of 2024 requires businesses that destroy firearms to obtain a federal license and follow specific irreversible destruction methods. It directly affects private entities operating in firearm destruction (excluding government agencies) and mandates annual reporting to the ATF on destruction volumes. Key provisions include defining "covered methods" of destruction (rendering firearms permanently inoperable), requiring license applicants to certify destruction methods, and creating federal grants to help government entities pay for licensed destruction services. The law also establishes reporting requirements for licensed destroyers and sets a 180-day implementation timeline.
