  • Local police and surplus military gear.
  • Homeland Security famously ordering a billion and a half rounds of ammo.
  • The usual DoD hording.

The Cult marches on!

The evidence for this guy’s argument is a list of cases, where, if you dig even slightly, you are going to find disconfirming facts that he neglected to mention when he summarized the case.

Second: Brievik. I would not call having two extra guns you didn’t need and only using half your ammo as a security blanket. He just ran out of time and rage.
