Donation of Certain Federal Surplus Firearms to State or Local Law Enforcement Activities

요약

The General Services Administration (GSA) is proposing to amend the Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR) to remove the prohibition on donation of surplus Federal firearms to allow donations to State and local law enforcement activities. This change, the result of interagency meetings with Federal law enforcement agencies in conjunction with the Department of Justice, will enable certain usable firearms acquired for Federal law enforcement purposes to continue serving a law enforcement role. This proposed rule establishes a centralized activity within GSA to coordinate all firearms transfers under the FPMR and specifies that donated firearms are restricted in perpetuity and may not be transferred except in accordance with this rule.
