The OPs title - Government Officials Exempt from new Weapons Bill
The title of the OPs is not true and leads one to believe all government officals are exempt which is clearly not true and the above bold section deals with agencies, departments and States and not personal at home weapons. Enforcement, FBI, CIA, State department and other enforcement agencies will have the right, not that big of a surprise.

GSD,
The bill allows both active and retired law enforcement officials to purchase, sell, posses and own prohibited firearms. The bill doesn't specifically state all government officials are exempt, but it states all levels of government are. So, potentially any branch of the government could allow government employees to purchase, sell, posses and own prohibited firearms or they may not. The problem with vaguely written law is that it can be interpreted in any number of ways by the very people who wrote them.
If you're comfortable with the idea that's fine, but you must understand why some are not crazy about the whole idea. There are a number of other reforms that would be equally affective in place of all out bans. That being said, I really don't have any say and my opinion doesn't really matter because I'm not a citizen.
