Creates federal grants for communities to buy back unwanted guns, and bans specific prepaid cards for gun sales.
This bill would create a new federal program to help states, local governments, and gun dealers hold gun buyback events. People could turn in unwanted guns for special prepaid cards. It would also be against the law to use these cards to buy guns or ammo, or to accept them when selling guns or ammo.
Currently, there is no federal program that specifically sets aside money for gun buyback programs. If this bill becomes law, the federal government would create a grant program to help states, local governments, and gun dealers run these programs, setting aside $360 million each year for three years. It would also make it a federal crime to use or accept the special prepaid cards from these programs to buy or sell guns or ammunition, with fines up to $100,000.
