From the article, something that needs to be highlighted -

Unfortunately, every nut in the country is stockpiling weapons in anticipation of some or all of their paranoid conspiracy theories coming true. We are the ones who need to be on the lookout, because when the apocalypse doesn’t come on its own, they will create one.


What these loons, their RW-elected officials, and their media continually try to do is to provoke and incite with their rhetoric, with the goal of having their sick fantasies become a reality (with their means justified by their soothsayer fictional ends).
I suspect most gun nutters are perfectly ok with this guy having that arsenal. kestrel91316 Jan 2013 #1
