re: #231 sagehen

If I try to buy a few hundred pounds of fertilizer, the FBI will visit my home to measure my acreage. Assuming I don’t have much… I end up in jail. If I try to buy a case or two of allergy medicine, and I’m not a pharmacy… I end up in jail.

But if I want to buy a high-powered semi-automatic rifle, and bump stock, and hundreds of rounds of ammo — and then another a week later, and the week after that and the week after that, for a total of 33 in year… No big.

It’s really not hard to understand. The GOP wants their serfs to have the illusion of being able to fight back & a civilian AR-15 is perfect for that - much as the ability of the medieval serfs to rebel was non-existant; only the barons and the like could do that - not actually have the means to do so. Hence the NFA and heavy regulation of explosive fertilizer. Without heavy support weapons and explosives as well as a resupply route from outside the nation, an insurrection will not succeed. Might cause a lot of deaths which will be useful to the powers that be for propaganda/oppression purposes, but they won’t, in the end, succeed.
