I used to work for a federal government agency that (once upon a time) resold seized firearms.
First, the firearm couldn’t be even considered for sale until it was officially gov’t property - IOW, after the case had been adjudicated and the bad guy in question found guilty.
Second, we sifted through all the crap and destroyed probably 70-80% of it. You’d be amazed, some of the guns that bad guys carry. They’re more dangerous to the shooter than anyone else.
Third, it was typically done in a sealed bid auction. “Lot of 200 miscellaneous revolvers,” or “lot of 500 pieces of assorted SKS parts,” stuff like that. The big guys like Sarco were the ones that really got involved in it. Whenever you see one of those “we found these in a government warehouse” ads, it usually means they bought it at auction.
Of course, Clinton ended all that. The last sale for my old agency made the gov’t over $1 million dollars.
The article mentions that they have no intentions of selling to the public. Only to dealers.
I will bet your “agency” is far different now than what it was then.
