I know we have been. Tired of looking at guns and ammo. You need another gun? WHAT?!
Because personally, I feel when the tanks come rolling in, your guns are not going to do diddly squat.

When it comes to all of that, I trust the Lord.

We don't have the "right to bear arms" in our constitution in Australia. So Walmart (relatively new to our shores) don't sell guns or ammo. Is this all a recent development? Do you think it has co-incided with the economic measures being introduced (and the stories about Federal agencies stockpiling)?

It has to do with all of the hype surrounding the Newtown, CT shooting. Its emboldened the gun control advocates to push for stricter gun laws. So lots of Americans are feeling the need to buy up all the guns and ammo they can. I think it's a bit of an overreaction. I own shot guns and rifles but I haven't bought ammo in years. I haven't hunted in years.

So a bit of panic buying in case the laws change? Okay, I can see how that would happen.

Yes, I tend to agree with your position... tanks, drones.... I think we have some of the US's drones patrolling near our shores these days too. Don't know if they are unarmed, but I haven't heard anything about armed ones here yet. Things are changing very fast. And they seem to bring in these kinds of changes when everyone is distracted by something else.

I am understanding that you cannot shoot a drone down unless you have evidence of a credible threat from a person or a group who is threatening to destroy your home.

DeMint: Obama's policies more damaging than sequester
DeMint: Obama's gloom-and-doom warnings miss the point that his fiscal policies have failed and put the nation in further jeopardy. He knows his policies are going to hurt the economy and he wants to blame that on the sequester.
