This bill would allow federal law enforcement officers to purchase their service weapons at a discount or reduced price, similar to programs that let military members buy their issued firearms. The measure aims to help officers who want to keep the guns they've used on the job after retiring or leaving federal service. It primarily affects federal agents and officers working for agencies like the FBI, DEA, and other federal law enforcement organizations.
