    So, is anyone going to go after the Miami Police for this? I’m guessing probably not.

      ATF will, they love screwing over police depts that illegally SBR rifles. Also the State Dept, this is their privy.

        Okay, since we’re working from a photo and one unverified sentence, I looked this up:

        From July 20th,

        https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article263607253.html

        Officials on Tuesday said that the city has cleared the plan with the U.S. State Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

        Miami’s city government has not yet signed an agreement with a licensed exporter but hopes to ship the guns within a few weeks, said Miami Police Chief Manny Morales.

        The resolution said that the weapons would be shipped with the help of the nonprofit Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA). Commissioner Russell told Insider: “We are in contact with a licensed gun exporter who has the ability to ship the guns.”

        So, looks like they thought of this already.

          LMAO, I didn’t take a close look at the photo and thought that was Zillensky posing with the guns. But your comment made me double check since it was all in the uncertain future tense.

            I was only able to find articles from about 2 weeks ago. I think I said something suggesting they completed it, but I’m not sure. This entire discussion is based on a photo of some random guy with guns and one sentence… not super reliable.
