1.) Gearing up against US citizens.
2.) Starving the market of ammo.
3.) Hi-visibility psyops to demoralize their “enemies”...”
Yes, but I suspect it is even more than that. He is planning on pulling a “Hugo Chevez” and will never leave office. He is arming up to ensure he can take on any and all challenges to his coup. The question is, WHEN he pulls such a stunt, how many of these feds are going to back him.?

Keep in mind that he's been replacing flag officers with more politically acceptable types. There won't be any response to his coup from the military, unless a small group with very strong motivation decides to pull a decapitation strike.
Beyond that, all I'm hearing is lots of grumpy gun owners declaring they'll stand their ground ferociously. The sad thing is that I'm not hearing about any coordination, so these solo patriots will be picked off easily.
Then again, he could declare a "cyber emergency" and pull the plug on the Internet, leaving us all incommunicado.
Yeah, I'm starting to think he really could pull off a coup and get away with it.
I will literally bet you any amount of money you care to name that Obama peacefully, normally leaves office in 2016, without ever having ordered or implemented anything remotely resembling martial law nationally.
