"I don’t believe for a minute that the reason for these massive purchases is so benign. I believe that they are expecting civil unrest, perhaps to be fomented by themselves, and are planning to use the ammunition to go to war with the American people."

Try this little behavioral experiment -

- Pick any person and tell them to hold up their right hand like they are being sworn in to testify in court.
- Hold your hand against theirs and start to press forward, increasing slowly.
- Observe what they do...

Almost everyone will start pressing back to keep their hand in place. When you ask them what they are doing, most won't realize they are increasing their pressure to match yours - keeping their hand close to where you started the experiment.

It's natural and an almost unconscious reaction to push back in direct proportion to anything that's pushing against them. This natural human behavior is well known to the statists and an obvious conclusion would be to assume they are trying to provoke a reaction to a continuously growing and overwhelming assault on liberties across a very broad spectrum (income, health, security, speech, association, etc.).

Yes, and also I will not be surprised to see a Reichstag fire here in the US that will give them the excuse they feel they need to clamp down on US citizens defending their rights. Sometimes hand pressure just isn’t enough.
