Restoring Trust in Public Safety Act

This bill would let the U.S. Attorney General give competitive grants to states, tribal governments, local governments, and their law enforcement agencies to destroy firearms. Grant money could be used to buy or maintain equipment that smelts, crushes, cuts, or shreds guns, to hire businesses that destroy firearms, and to train staff. Grantees would have to destroy all parts of each firearm, keep records, and provide documented proof of destruction. The bill authorizes $15 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2031, sets aside one-third of the funds for metropolitan or rural areas, and limits administrative costs to 10 percent.
