So THAT’S Why the Feds Have Been Buying All That Ammunition
April 16, 2014
Who knew that the U.S. Politburo of Land Management (BLM) had an army of snipers, attack helicopters, and heavily-armed foot soldiers, all on display during the Nevada ranch “standoff.” This explains all those news reports of the feds buying millions and millions of rounds of ammunition, usually under the auspices of the Department of Fatherland Security. As the Soviets learned early on in their adventure in totalitarianism, people sometimes resist when the state attempts to steal their property and treat them like slaves to the state. All that ammunition is for us, in other words, in case too many of us entertain the novel idea that the people are the masters of rather than servants to the state.
