Either these crackas are preparing for race wars or to overthrow the US gov't. Prolly both.
AR-15s, handguns, and hunting rifles will not overthrow the gov't that has tanks, helicopters, armored vehicles, thermal imaging, jets, communication jamming equipment, and serious threat of jail time. Remember when them assholes ran up in the capitol...and that chick got shot...what the assholes do, they backed down "why y'all do that"
So, you're saying all the successful coups in other countries happened cuz the gov't's. didn't have tanks, helicopters, armored vehicles, etc?
