    And nobody is coming to help you when that force surrounds you, either. Except your compound probably doesn't need surrounded by that force you'll be in custody or dead before the someone who isn't going to help even knows something is happening.
    Who needs military when the rumbles are about giving DHS and other agencies more armed drones like CBP's Reapers? CRV7 or APKWS-II turn a Hydra-70 rocket into a sniper round, and four LAU-61G's on an MQ-9 means you can exterminate six dozen Deplorables at a time with little to no collateral. No need for no-knocks, just a drone at high altitude dropping a kinetic-energy round like those or a Hellfire R9X through your bedroom ceiling in the middle of the night...

    Yup...the best way to do it is not have anyone know you have it or where it is.

It is situated in the middle of 40 acres of woods in the Ozarks so I dont worry too much about intruders. One big advantage is it takes very little to heat or cool the house. I have a single free standing AC unit that I run maybe a month a year and I heat in the winter with a small wood stove (I have back up electric if I get tired of burning the stove).

    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    Having built an ICF home 23 years ago, I feel confident that the walls would survive anything short of a 20mm. Our wall system is 6" of reinforced concrete with 6-8" of local stone facing. It is solid, sturdy and quiet. Of course the windows and doors are the weak areas but I have a stash or empty sandbags for those areas. Now all I need is a yard or two of sand that is protected from the elements so it won't be a weed bed!

    Fwiw, the construction at the time was at a premium of 10% over the cost of 2x6" wood studs.

    They are eliminating police, eliminating the ability of individuals to defend themselves... and they are removing those elements from the military, turning it into a politically driven organization.

    Five or ten years from now, it won’t be the police kicking in your door...
    I understand that they're trying to woke the military but there's been a lot of resistance.

    Critical race theory whistleblower line has gotten hundreds of tips
    https://nypost.com/2021/06/15/cotton...leblower-line/
    A pair of GOP lawmakers who launched a whistleblower campaign last month for active military members to report critical race theory in “diversity training” programs say they have received hundreds of tips.




    'Life, Liberty & Levin' on Marxism in America, critical race theory infiltrating military
    https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/l...ating-military
    Critical race theory is not about learning the history of America. It's not about learning slavery and segregation. It's not about learning about neo- Nazis and the Klan. It's about a Marxist movement invented by Marxists -- Herbert Marcuse, Derrick Bell, and many, many others, and it attracts the Marxists like Black Lives Matter founders, two of three who have already said that they are Marxists, and that's not a coincidence, because this was hatched by professors as a way to attack the society from a Marxist perspective.



    A lot of parents are also pissed off about the communist psychological warfare being conducted in schools and are doing something about it. Everything that Yuri Bezmenov warned us about is coming true. Hope isn't lost.

    Get the Marxist indoctrination out of the schools and a new generation of American patriots will occupy high ranking positions.

    That's what family, friends good neighbors, random patriots and militias are for.

    What percentage of the military do you think would? Either way they're still outnumbered and there isn't an endless amount of replacements.

    A lot of scaremongering going on in here.

    When will they get you? How will they know you have guns? Do you really think they're going to start executing people they suspect own guns?

    Mass round ups of people with registered guns will gain a lot of negative attention.

    Have you tried testing something like this out to see if it works? If it does put up thermal blinds in your house



    These new see through blinds will really come in handy

    Drone striking people in their homes seems kind of far fetched but I guess it's not out of the realm of possibility.
