Members of Congress, led by Rep. Maxwell Frost, have introduced the Destroy Zombie Guns Act, aiming to close the so-called 'Zombie Gun Loophole.' This legislation, referred to as Rep. Frost's bill, requires the complete destruction of seized and surrendered firearms, addressing the issue of partially destroyed gun pieces, known as 'zombie guns,' which can be unregulated and sold to create new, untraceable weapons. The act is a response to the growing concern over gun violence and the mass proliferation of these untraceable firearms, which have been identified as contributing to this epidemic. Supporters of the bill, including Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Gabe Amo, Jill Tokuda, Robert Garcia, and Pat Ryan, emphasize the need to end the gun violence epidemic and prevent companies from profiting off untraceable gun kits. The initiative is part of a broader effort to tackle gun violence, highlighted by the publication of the Kelly Report and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which seeks to reduce and prevent gun violence through evidence-based programs.
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was the first comprehensive gun safety legislation in 30 years. I was proud to champion funding for the Community Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative, which aims to reduce and prevent gun violence through evidence-based programs.
Proud to join @RepMaxwellFrost on this crucial legislation to close the Zombie Gun Loophole and stop companies that profit from selling untraceable gun kits. I'll keep working every day to end the gun violence epidemic in this country. https://t.co/DhNmjSjzk1
I'm publishing the #KellyReport to assemble our nation’s leading experts and advocates to say with one voice: enough is enough. We must #EndGunViolence. https://t.co/xNdethQdIr https://t.co/LvNR4Tc8z0

Gun violence is an epidemic in our country, and @RepRobinKelly has been a tireless advocate for saving lives and keeping our communities safe. Joined Rep. Kelly and other GVP leaders to discuss the 2024 Kelly Report and how we can take on gun violence in our country. https://t.co/rL8arbECiY
Proud to join @RepMaxwellFrost in the fight against zombie guns, partially destroyed gun pieces that are unregulated and can be sold to create new guns. Guns are the number one killer of children in America and thoughts and prayers are not enough. This deadly epidemic must end. https://t.co/7rzgyOcYyq
The Zombie Gun Loophole is a problematic way that guns can end up in the hands of those responsible for gun violence. We must close this loophole and destroy zombie guns now. Every life lost to gun violence is one too many. https://t.co/vtawLCCJWj
Proud to be co-leading the "Destroy Zombie Guns Act" with @RepMaxwellFrost. We need to completely destroy seized & surrendered guns. It is unacceptable to have these gun parts contributing to the mass proliferation of untraceable weapons putting our children & families at risk. https://t.co/VvVlY7KoAA
What's a zombie gun? Why are they an issue? And how do we stop them? Today, I introduced the Destroy Zombie Guns Act, which closes the Zombie Gun Loophole by requiring those who destroy guns to destroy the whole gun, not just one part. Learn more below ⬇️ https://t.co/RK9sRemPCZ
When I worked at the White House, I spoke with mayors after gun violence — often a result of too many guns in our communities. That’s why I’m co-leading the Destroy Zombie Guns Act w/ @RepMaxwellFrost to require gun buybacks to destroy guns entirely & not sell them for parts. https://t.co/6CsSKSgrJA
It was great to join @RepMaxwellFrost and my colleagues today to introduce the Destroy Zombie Guns Act. Like ghost guns, zombie guns are risen from an unholy loophole that some companies exploit. Rep. Frost's bill closes this loophole and puts these undead firearms to rest. https://t.co/xxo1dAKqVF
