What it does
The Safer Neighborhoods Gun Buyback Act of 2025 would authorize the Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance to provide grants to states, local governments, tribal governments, and covered gun dealers to conduct gun buyback programs. Eligible entities must use grant funds to run buyback programs, destroy at least 5% of collected firearms and ammunition, and limit administrative costs to no more than 15% of funds. The bill prohibits the use of smart prepaid cards to purchase guns or ammunition and bars resale of any firearms or ammunition obtained through the program.
