I ran into a crazy video on Youtube of a gun range where participants were shooting down RC airplanes for sport. Two guys were even firing a probably 75mm howitzer type cannon. There were machine guns, military guns of all sizes and calibers and 50 caliber machine guns. These guys were just blasting away like they were in a fire fight. I don't know where this place was but it was absolutely nuts. There were sophisticated assault weapons I have never seen before.

(291 posts)The guys that own actual full auto stuff are probably the most responsible gun owners in existence. They spend anywhere from $20,000-50,000 on each gun and are required to undergo a 3-6 month FBI background check before buying each item.

Their enablers are the media, Koch brothers, ALEC, NRA, etc. They don't see the incongruity of what they say they stand for, the fantasy land they have chosen to live in that is killing others.
I finally understood why the police are getting militarized. Honestly, what does one expect?
You see these demonstrations and their mad dog mentality, telling them everyone in government is planning to round them up for Camp FEMA. Are the police supposed to deal such lunacy by blowing bubbles at them?
It's an escalation pushed by those who want a civil war while they stand in high places and watch us slaughter each other and laugh.
And very few people are seeing the game.
