A couple of cops from Virginia who were part of the Jan. 6th thing and were under court order to not possess guns,...kept buying guns and ammo anyway. Apparently to replace what was seized from them,...but a heck of a lot, too.

In June, FBI agents executed a search warrant on Robertson’s email and found he purchased 14 guns between April 12 and May 15. On June 29, a similar search warrant found Robertson had 34 guns at Tactical Operations Inc. in Roanoke, waiting to be picked up. Now they claim the number of purchases keeps going up.
A Question of Possession
In addition to the 34 guns at Tactical Operations on June 29, FBI agents were notified that “an additional three firearms were received by [Tactical Operations] between June 29, 2021 and July 1, 2021,” Monday’s filing says. They also found four silencers from the material seized at Robertson’s home. US Attorney Channing Phillips says in the filing that Robertson spent $50,000 between Jan. 20 and July 2 on the 37 guns alone. Also, employees at Tactical Operations “confirmed the defendant possessed the firearms and handled them” during his pretrial release.
Beyond the guns, Phillips also wrote that Robertson purchased a steady supply of ammunition. “From March 2021 through May 2021, on Gunbroker.com, the Defendant purchased over 1,000 armor-piercing rounds,” Phillips wrote. “On a single day in February, he ordered 46 M4 magazines, each capable of holding 30 rounds of ammunition. The following day, he ordered 100 M4 magazines.”
