Well, at least somebody is making money!

Guns. Their problem is that they just can't ship them fast enough. These guys shipped 3,700 yesterday, 14,000 are being processed to ship. This is just one of the big on-line gun sellers.

Guess who all of those guns and ammo are going to? Guess what they are stockpiling for? They are preparing to "defend" themselves against YOU. It is, after all, and election year.

So, just a caution, if you want to buy yourself a new AR-15 and a thousand rounds of ammo on-line, you might have to wait a few days......Of course, you can always drop in on your corner gun store, they are an essential business and are open to serve you. You just wouldn't want to show up at your state capitol with last years AR model, now would you? Just to put your mind at ease.....

plan on sharing at the compound if they think that's going to do any good. I doubt it creates any more threat from right-wing terrorists than we already have.

I see it as arming themselves against their fellow Americans, no matter what bias they place on it. That's got to be their target if they understand the situation, all things considered.

It sure isn't about arming themselves to protect them from the government, (no matter what side of the partisan divide they imagine it to be). Those little assault rifles and whatever weapons caches they have would be like mosquitoes in comparison to what the military has now. A few drones and goodbye brave militant dimwits. I would assume they would know that their weapons are no match for modern military interventions, (not even close) but I could be wrong considering the level of intelligence displayed.

The best they could do is hold out in guerilla camps. I guess the guns are for taking things away from others at gunpoint or killing them outright for food, supplies, etc. if things go Mad Max. Might equal right. Those will be the gangs of marauding criminals terrorizing, stealing and raping their way across the land, given the chance.
