apologies but I can never understand these stories about "imminent government war on the public"
Without the civies the USA or any other country cannot exist. Or buy ammo.
So, other than fear mongering what's the point?

Sure because heavy weapons and ammo are going to be worth anything against a cruise missle. Where does this fantasy that if people have guns they can some how stand up to a modern military force that is suppose to be cruel and heartless. Please just stop with this nonsense about guns being used to stop the evil goverment, it makes the rest of gun owners look like loons.

Well it appears the Government of the US is doing a good job blurring the lines between what federal positions need to be armed and which don't.
I can't help but to have a sneaking suspicion that our kids are going to be growing up under the impression that this is commonplace.
With each new generation it will just get worse and worse.

a reply to: theantediluvian>>>> Many, many of those deportation numbers were in fact illegals stopped at the border and then sent back. If you look at the number of detainees caught here in the US and living here, the number deported is drastically lower and has actually decreased.
Large numbers of illegals means a need for services the government has to provide( increasing their power and need for financing) as well as driving down wages and increasing the need for law enforcement to deal with increased crime.
That all includes things like bullets and weapons, IMO. It's still just not many in Feds to Citizens for ratio tho...
To be realistic...If the feds and open citizenry ever clashed on a large scale? Custer had a real fair fight, by comparison.
