The Detroit Free Press has a database of military equipment the Federal government has donated to local police departments, so I thought I would take a look and see what we have here. All I found was a couple of dozen rifles, no tanks or armored cars. Although it doesn't say, these rifles are probably scary, black ones. They came from the military after all. The value of these weapons is what caught my eye: $138 for an M16 assault rifle?!?! That's like 10% of what a semi-auto version would cost at your local gun shop. Then again, if it had been drug around Afghanistan for the last ten years it might be pretty well beat to death, in which case that value might be accurate.
