I am increasingly getting the feeling the recent buying binge in ammo and rifles isn’t just a matter of getting in before a ban comes. It honestly feels like there is a meaningful contingent of people who are preparing for the possibility of a major civil conflict. When Americans buy enough guns in two months to outfit the entire Indian and Chinese governments combined—and that doesn’t include what was probably an off the charts January—they aren’t doing it just to go deer hunting.
Not saying I would ever want to see such a nightmare scenario, but something doesn’t feel right about all this...
I saw a stat just recently that more 2A stuff has been purchased in the last four years than in ALL EIGHT of Bush’s Presidency.
What REALLY worries me is the indescribable amount of stuff DHS and all the other “previously passive” agencies are stockpiling. Who would have thought, back in the 30s, that the SSA would be developing SWAT teams with unlimited equipment and ammo??????
I think that sort of thing more obviosuly underscores that the gubmit rats believe the pot is going to boil over soon and are laying in THEIR protective supplies.
I was so naive a few years ago that I was impressed by the motto on LAPD balck&whites “To protect and serve”.
Little did I know back then that they left off WHO they were dedicated to protecting and serving and it was NEVER us as INDIVIDUALS. It was “To protect and serve” the government/community.
Yeah, I know, it SHOULD have been obvious to me that the entire concept of “keeping the peace” has less to do with INDIVIDUALS than it does with the community as a whole.
Still, I’m not sure that I’ll be able to support maintaining the particular community/society that begins to expend some of those billion rounds on its own citizens that DHS has been stockpiling.
I DID realize MANY years ago, when I was in some gubmint office located in one of the local counties, that THEY were well set up to protect their own butts if the SHTF.
Somehow I had wound up in the basement and when I stepped out of the elevator, I was ASTOUNDED to find that I had walked through a bank vault type door that was swung open against the wall, with the business end (ie the combo dial and operating spoked wheel) facing AWAY FROM the elevator door. When closed, all anyone attempting to enter that sacred area of gubmint operations would see upon the elevators doors opening is a blank wall of steel a couple of feet thick.
Isolating the gubmint rats from the public would only require one of those privileged few in the basement to swing that door shut, spin the bolt actuating wheel and PRESTO!, instant protection from the dirty, unwashed, maurading, ignorant, bible thumping, gun hoarding, freedom obsessed public.
