What happened? The federal government murdered an entire compound without trial, jury or due process over a possible 200 dollar violation of tax laws.
One way to keep track of attitudes is to keep track of used rifle prices, especially in the standard military calibers, 30-06, .303, .223, 7.62-M!, 7.62x39 or X57, etc. Hereabouts, at least, those prices are rising again and also the prices of cases of ammo, kind of like between Waco and November '94.
