What scares me is the 3%, the 1% are hateful, but the 3%

I read that 50% of the guns owned in the US are owned by 3% of the population. I could imagine the social group in this class. And they've had the last 15 years or so to stock up on assault rifles and high capacity magazines for the handguns. These are the true dyed in the wool Trump worshipers, and they live in their own reality. Everything is someone else's fault and we need to go back to the good old days. I could see them going crazy if Trump gets removed from office. And you know darn good and well Trump would not go out easy, he'd be blaming everyone, there are really no limits to what he might do.

In size anyhow-maybe 300 acres?. Take that and stack ammo crates till they are 3 stories high.

There has to be at least that much stockpiled by zealouts across our nation.

are afraid of them too. When they start shooting, there will be a percentage of law enforcement on their side too.
