The troop withdrawal created a ton of surplus armament. Through the so-called “1033 program,” police departments can acquire excess military gear from the Pentagon for free.

Nah dawg, they only sell pellet guns, long-barrel rifles, and shotguns at Wal-Mart, but I get your point. I’ll just say, it may be important over here to own those semi-automatic death makers when SHTF.
But what sort of shit would hit the fan? I really don’t want to be an asshole, but one of the reasons I heard ‘to protect your rights’ but how? Like an armed militia against the government? If all is in favor ag the gov, then there is no need for bloodshed; and if none but your cause is just then history would would honor it without bloodshed
The other thing I heard is self defense… But like if none one had guns, would you need guns to defend yourself?
Economic and political collapse are not an impossibility, so having a way to defend myself if things get dicey is a nice reassurance. Luckily I’m in BFE and guns double as a food resource tool.
…how? Isn’t the us a first world country?
🤣 FWINO, First World In Name Only.
