3. Which ones are false?
Nothing here claims ONLY extremists do these things. Complaining about this demonstrates a classic logical fallacy. If A then B does not mean the same thing as if B then A. Extremists planning Oklahoma City style insurrection would engage in this behavior (which is directed at sellers of military surplus goods - not the most universal of shopping venues). It doesn't mean everyone who drops $100 in greenbacks on an arctic parka is the next McVeigh, but somebody who comes in weekly with chemical burns and rotating disguises who spends thousands on MREs and gas masks while muttering about Armageddon and the purge of the faithless is probably worth a quick call to the local field office.
