SilencerCo/SWR has an interesting take on the situation. You could replace "silencers/sound suppressors" with other gun control nonsense:
Emphasis is mine.Recently we have been asked what our policies are regarding the sale of silencers/sound suppressors to governmental agencies is in states where civilian sales are illegal.
Our policy is as follows: For any LE agency purchase, REGARDLESS of geographic location or the state laws regarding NFA transfers to civilians, we require a "Statement of Benefit" document signed by the Chief Law Enforcement official in the requesting jurisdiction. This statement reinforces the reasons that silencers are beneficial for ALL user groups, including civilians. These statements are then filed and can be used at our prerogative to assist in our lobbying efforts to legalize civilian silencer ownership and hunting with silencers where they are prohibited by state law. Silencerco/SWR's goal is to promote the use and ownership of silencers for civilians, Law Enforcement and Military. We do not support agencies whose administrations do not support the rights of the people to own these important personal protection devices.
Quite simply, agencies who wont sign the statement of benefit and thereby assist our efforts to promote silencer ownership and usage, will not be sold or supported by us.
This policy is great. I'd love to see a copy of the "Statement of Benefit" they require agencies to sign. I like seeing the details and I wouldn't put it past chief officials, see Chicago or Milwaukee PD, signing it and a month later burying their nose firmly between DiFi's butt cheeks. I wonder if there is a check in place.

I am recently retired LEO and a military veteran. Rich, thank you for your position on this issue. I know it was a tough decision, but the right one.

Excellent thank you. Can you tell us the status of your "possible relocation? Ron
Ain't no pockets on a shroud..
Sir, thank you for taking a stand. We'd love to have you here in Tennessee!!

Call me contrary but it reads too much like a work around for an agency ban.
"If your state passes a ban, I won't sell to the agency but if individual officers promise to uphold the 2nd Am that is already trampled in your state, I will sell to you...."
I'm not LEO but retired military. Since I already upheld every aspect of the Constitution in practice or 20 years, may I promise and pinky swear to continue to do so and have Magpul send me standard capacity magazines if my state or the feds pass a ban.....

Never send a nail to do a screw's job.
I think it speaks volumes that we need to have a promise to uphold a promise.
