What would they use what they've ordered for?

Guess your farmer`s, have more than shotgun`s, to kill fox`s.

 

[Reyven Samoth]

To protect us from ourselves. Duh.

Tier III-A? Apparently Locusts, Ladybugs and Dandylions are all armed with 7.62x39mm firearms. Sheeeeet, lemme order one too before I buy my fruit smoothies at the corner deli.

 

[Davin Jusik]

Well I'am.

And I'm sure plenty of farmers are.

 

[Reyven Samoth]

Meh, save up and get your own. S'bout the only thing left to do.

 

[Davin Jusik]

I meant the 7.62. I'm armed with it and trained.

Unless you have plate most body armor's pretty useless beyond the "I'm invincible" feeling.

I need a new set >.>

 

[Reyven Samoth]

I'm more familiar with AR, even though the round is weaker. And plate is actually fairly affordable now. AR500

 

[Saera Willamina Savan]

Yeah, without hard armor behind it, it's pretty much moot against rifle fire.

 

[Seris Vant]

Well, you know. Those cattle ranchers in Nevada or w/e.

 

[Reyven Samoth]

That's the BLM, not the USDA. Clearly different issues.

 

[Davin Jusik]

Still some weirdness from what I've been reading.

I'm an Ak man myself. Recently got a rail system for it and plan on getting a fore grip, laser, and flashlight the moment I get my next check.

I'm lucky enough ti be familiar with both, but constantly complained about the beatup M16A2s we had in basic. OK was not kind and had a hard winter, the constant jams completely turned me off on that weapons system.

 

[Reyven Samoth]

ARs work fine here in Nevada. The problem is with the stopping power. Of course, you can get piston-system ARs if it's really an issue for you, but the problem is it starts to get dirt at the port instead of in the chamber, so it's just a trade off really. You just have to keep 'em clean. AKs aren't as ergonomic as ARs, unfortunately.

AUG-A3 SA w/ 14" Custom 4 lyf :3

 

[Reyven Samoth]

Yeah, except for needing a stamp and a 6 month wait...

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Americans are obsessed with firearms....

It's called, the end of the dollar. The government has been in debt since 1913. When the banks helped pass a law that allowed them to do just about what ever they wanted. Now that we are 16 trillion dollars in debt. If we were to use all the money that we have at this moment, we would still not be able to pay it back.

So the dollar is losing it's value. And evantually it will be worth nothing. The government is preparing for this dollar fallout so they can still have control of the land. If you notice that the government also bought thousands and thousands of holopoint rounds. As well as many many more guns than are what needed for the military. Almost 4 times more than what is needed for our "non standing" army.

They are also making our own military practice drills with local police. Military grade tactics are bring taught to local police and even gun shop owners and employes. Yes all of this may not look to be true or even reasonable, but if you take a step back you can see this all happening.

I'm not trying to scare anyone because of this post, I am just putting in my two cents on what I know.

It actually mostly comes down to drug dealers.

Dept. of Agriculture is usually the group that finds things like illegal grow ops for the DEA to crack down on. The sort of illegal grow ops armed men with itchy trigger fingers like to shoot people who tresspass on, government or not.

It's easy to spin as ludicrous, but when you have heavily armed international cartels involved in operations that Dept. of Agriculture stumbles upon, there you go.

 

[Reyven Samoth]

I know, and for no good reason, Tamara, too! Not like we had a nasty pest problem from the old country that kept trying to come back...
