1. Twenty years ago I would have accepted the government’s account without question. Alas, today I am waiting to learn more before forming an impression. While IMHO commenter SDC lapses into hyperbole, I am not immune to the kinds of suspicions he expresses.

2. Helicopters and armored personnel vehicles to arrest a family of four without a previous record? Huh?

That’s a lot of donuts.

3. If Reese is correct that most (over 90% ?!) gun shops have been forced to close in the last decade or so, I am not a happy camper. I don’t own a gun and haven’t pulled a trigger since my military training decades ago & hope never to do so again. Nevertheless, it is a strong priority with me that weapons remain available for the eventuality that I wish to purchase one.

That bolded stat is not correct.
