Oath Keepers Exclusive: An FBI Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force handout being distributed to Colorado military surplus store owners lists the purchase of popular preparedness items and firearms accessories as “suspicious” and “potential indicators of terrorist activities,” instructing store owners to keep records on and report people who:

“Make bulk purchase of items to include:

Weatherproofed ammunition or match containers

Meals Ready to Eat

Night Vision Devices; night flashlights; gas masks

High capacity magazines

Bi-pods or tri-pods for rifles”

The FBI handout, entitled “Communities Against Terrorism: Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related to Military Surplus Stores” also instructs surplus store owners to:

Better yet, get a phone book and make entries for EVERY listing with which to report.

Paying cash is on the list of things that are listed as "suspicious."

Anyone who doesn’t want to send his ENTIRE paycheck to the feds MUST be a domestic terrorist. I’m sure The Won is with me on that one.

Buying a brick of .22 ammo is now a federal watch list issue.

“weatherproof matches and night flashlights”

Stuff that is found in the Boy Scout Catalog. Obviously young terrorists in training.

Just Dang.

Making a reference to the US constitution makes you suspected as a terrorist?

How about yelling Allah Akbar?

Making references to the koran?

Carry business cards stating you are a soldier of Allah?

All that is ok is guess in the eyes of these asshats.

“I think the key word in the article is BULK.”

I think the problem is their definition of “BULK” is “TWO OR MORE”.

Not kidding. Legislation supports this.

“Buying a brick of .22 ammo is now a federal watch list issue.”

I can hear the dinosaur media now:

...The suspect was apprehended with over 500 rounds of high velocity copper plated hollow point ammunition capable of being fired from either a handgun or a rifle at a rapid rate or fire. The high velocity copper plated hollow point ammunition was carefully concealed by the suspect. The suspect had hidden the ammunition by carefully double bagging it in plastic bags with the cryptic marking “Wal-Mart” on the exterior of the bags. An anonymous source close to the investigation told this reporter he believes the markings on the bags stand for White Anglos Lusting to Murder All Retards and Twits, which, by definition, includes most politicians...

And yes trolls this is satire.

You should have bought all this stuff already. Like, before the klinton aw ban

If it can be believed, my pre-Klintoon (1989) MRE stash went bad. I broke out a pair to test before Y2K and most of the contents were dessicated and inedible. I broke out an additional six and half of them were similarly ruined. I ended up disposing of the lot. They were first-gen MREs with matching lot numbers, so there may have been a production defect.

On the other hand, with the exception of the soda crackers my 1955-dated C-rations are still good. My other pre-Klintoon stashes are of things that never go bad if they are kept dry, so we are cool. ;-)

You forgot the footnote about HP being “banned by the Geneva conventions as cruelly inhumane, even in warfare”.

There is no cooler place on Earth than a good surplus shop!

Don't I know it! I wish I could find one. When I was a kid Sunny's Surplus had it ALL. You could get ANYTHING, up to a functional M3 halftrack or M4 tank chassis. When my buddies and I played war we looked like the gen-yoo-wine 101st Airborne...every peice of gear was authentic or nearly so. We even had dummy Springfield drill rifles. My buddies dad made him a whole bandolier full of inert .30-06 rounds on strippers so he could actually pretend to load his gun. Even better, back then you could get Axis relics for next-to-nothng at flea markets, so our "enemies" were fairly authentic, too. One kid had a real M38 tunic complete with an Iron Cross First Class. You could buy a really nice gun for what it'd be worth today, but he played in it until it went to bits.

Kids today have no idea how cool things used to be.

Do they count people stockpiling *BEER*?

Perhaps the baked beans could become a weapon of mass destruction after ingestion.

Right out of Alinsky (and from no less a source than National Review Online, at that!)

Cheers!

The powers in Govt have to eat. When there plan fails they want to know who bought MRE. That way they can confiscate your MREs for national security.

Since you are writing back to Elendur I feel justified in quoting from The Scouring of the Shire:

"...So things went from bad to worse. There wasn't no smoke left, save for the Men; and the Chief didn't hold with beer, save for his Men, and closed all the inns, and everything except Rules got shorter and shorter, unless one could hide a bit of one's own when the ruffians went around gathering stuff up "for fair distribution" which meant they got it and we didn't, except for the leavings which you could have at the Shirriff-houses, if you could stomach them. All very bad. But since Sharkey Obaama came it's been plain ruination."

No cheers, unfortunately.

(Sound of grey_whiskers purring.)

Speaking of lamenting how things were way back when, you might enjoy reading this: (Vanity) In Praise of a Simpler Time, or, Dude, Where's My Childhood?
