Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill allows federal law enforcement officers to buy the guns they used on the job once the agency decides to replace them. This includes both current officers and those who have already retired.
• To be eligible, an officer must be in good standing with their agency. They have a six-month window to buy the weapon starting from the day the agency officially retires the firearm from service.
• The guns will be sold at 'salvage value,' which is a discounted price based on the weapon's age and how much wear and tear it has. This allows officers to keep the specific tools they used during their careers at a low cost.
• The government will not allow the sale of fully automatic machine guns under this program. It focuses on standard service weapons that have reached the end of their official government use.
• The General Services Administration is required to set up the official purchase program within one year of the bill becoming law.
