This bill lets federal law enforcement officers buy their old service guns after the agency retires them. The General Services Administration must set up a program within a year so officers can purchase these surplus firearms from their agency at a low “salvage” price based on age and condition. Officers have a six-month window after a gun is retired to buy it, and they must be in good standing with their agency. Machine guns that weren’t legally owned before the federal ban took effect are not included. Retired federal officers are also eligible. In short, it gives officers a chance to keep their former sidearm, while agencies move surplus equipment through a controlled process.
