The feds are absorbing all of the manufacturing capacity of ammuntion and arms that are available to the public. The Russians see this and know this, and having lived under communism, are throwing up all sorts of red flags as a warning. My great-grandparents emigrated to the US just before the bolshevik revolution. I heard the stories. I have no current relatives living in Russia. They were wiped out. If the Russians are offering to sell you arms, buy them, because there’s a shitstorm coming our way.

Some of mine came over at that time too. My great great grandfather was a general (according to a family story, I'd like to verify it somehow) for the Bolsheviks and he supposedly knew Lenin. He told his son to get out and go to America. My great grandmother who later married the son came over here because she was Jewish, she had two villages burn out from under her by the pogroms.

I joked about rewriting Red Dawn where the Russians come over to help us liberate ourselves from an oppressive government, I hope I'm not right like I was in 1983. B-P Well, to bring up the John Titor story, a part of the story was where there was a civil war between an oppressive government on one side and rural/suburban America on the others as well a some States that broke away IIRC. The Russians and Red Chinese panic and launch nukes at some of our cities, the powerbase of the oppressors and the rebels are grateful for the "help."

What a weird world we live in. Welcome to Bizzaro World.

P.S. - I told Mom the other day, I feel like Alice in Alice in Wonderland where she fell into that world, but compared where we are now, that world made more sense.
