Directs the Administrator of General Services, within one year of enactment, to establish a program under which a Federal law enforcement officer may buy a retired service firearm from the agency that issued it. The purchase must occur within the six-month period beginning when the firearm was retired, and the officer must be in good standing with the employing or former employing agency. The firearm is sold at its salvage value based on age and condition. The program excludes machineguns not lawfully possessed before the 1986 civilian-transfer ban in Section 922(o) of title 18, and the term Federal law enforcement officer includes retired officers.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 7 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 45 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 6 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence; National Treasury Employees Union; Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association; National Shooting Sports Foundation; National Fraternal Order of Police. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 2 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
