This bill mandates the establishment of a program enabling Federal law enforcement officers , including those who are retired, to purchase their service firearms once they are declared surplus. The Administrator of General Services is tasked with creating this program within one year of the bill's enactment. To be eligible for purchase, the officer must be in good standing with their agency, and the transaction must occur within a six-month period after the firearm's retirement. These firearms will be sold at their salvage value , reflecting their age and condition. The definition of "firearm" for this purpose excludes certain machineguns not lawfully possessed before a specific date.
