Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Destroy Zombie Guns Act'?

The 'Destroy Zombie Guns Act' is proposed legislation that targets firearms rebuilt from de-milled parts kits, which the bill labels as 'zombie guns.' It aims to impose strict regulations on the de-milling process, requiring the destruction of every firearm component and potentially penalizing FFLs.

How does the 'Destroy Zombie Guns Act' define a 'zombie gun'?

According to the bill, a 'zombie gun' is essentially a firearm that has been rebuilt from a parts kit. This often includes kits from firearms that were de-milled for import into the U.S., meaning they were already partially destroyed according to ATF specifications.

What are the proposed penalties under the 'Destroy Zombie Guns Act'?

The bill suggests that de-milling a firearm without destroying every single piece could be a crime. For Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs), this could lead to the loss of their license if they are caught not fully de-milling and destroying all parts of a firearm.

What is the criticism regarding the 'Destroy Zombie Guns Act'?

Critics argue the bill lacks evidence linking 'zombie guns' to increased crime rates. They contend it unfairly targets the legal firearm parts industry and imposes burdensome regulations on FFLs, potentially as a political move against the gun lobby rather than a public safety measure.
