What would the Jews of the Warsaw ghetto in WWII pay for a few functional firearms and cases of ammo? Why did they not forsee what was coming? I think that is the history the ammo buyers are trying not to repeat. Patriots taking a stand against traitors!
Yup. I think more people are just waking up to reality.
Government is not going to protect you. They have no duty to protect you. You have to be your own first responder.
At the local, state or federal levels. More people are waking up to this. At different times and instances people get clarity on this. Some learn from the misfortunes of others, some have to experience it first hand.
