I guess we are preparing for Hell to freeze over!
In a most likely actuality, and I could certainly be wrong here, this looks like Federal Excess property that has been acquired by qualified local government entities through the screening process. If it is, then it's a bit of a testimony as to our Federal Government's ability to buy a virtual unbelievable number of items, normally with an unbelievably high price tag assessed. Once a year, Departments have to declare property as being excess, whether used or brand new in some cases. These items are run through many layers of bureaucratic paperwork, organized in like types/kinds, etc. and then shipped to one of many depots where they are then available for screening. Federal agencies have the first option to obtain these items. I believe it's a three week period that the items are available to be transferred within the Federal system. Items not selected for this type of transfer are then made available to qualifying State and County government entities, via the screening process I outlined. These items are donated to the State and local governments. Items acquired are the responsibility of the Entity to repair and maintain, throughout the remaining life if the item. Once the State or local entity has outlived the usefulness of the item(s), they go up for auction. I believe the proceeds received through these auctions go back to the Federal government, the original owner of the item...
Oh and also, I might add, local government folks who acquire these items are required to maintain an inventory listing for all items they may have. They are subject to inspection at any time, and may not dispose of any item, no matter it's significance, without following proper Federal procedures.
There, that's about all I can recall.

Mine only had one rifle and 2 extended clips. The rest was a tool chest, master set of tools and additional wrenches and other tools.
I guess we just have a fully armed DOT worker.
