I get that law enforcement might want to sell surplus equipment.
But buying things with the idea of selling seems like an organization that's operating way outside it's mandate.
Which isn't something a law enforcement organisation should ever do.

It's unclear whether it's the "law enforcement organizations" doing the transactions, or its employees.
- wl 2y agoWhere law enforcement organizations have gotten involved here is writing a "law letter" saying, "Dear ATF: We're interested in firearm X. Please let machinegun dealer Y acquire a sample to demonstrate it for us." Then dealer Y can buy firearm X and keep it as long as they maintain their license, only being able to sell it to the government or another licensed machinegun dealer.
