This bill would require the General Services Administration to set up a program, within a year of becoming law, letting federal law enforcement officers buy their agency's retired service weapons. Officers must buy within six months of retirement, be "in good standing," and pay only "salvage value." Machine guns not legally owned before a 1986 law took effect are excluded.
Current and retired federal law enforcement officers, such as agents with the FBI, DEA, and Border Patrol. State and local police are not affected.
The bill creates a formal legal process for a purchase that previously had no established system, without altering other federal gun purchase or background check laws.
