Hopefully they will continue to rise up ....

Hamas' iron grip on Gaza is slowly slipping as residents protest

Gazan civilians are losing their fear of Hamas, openly criticising the group on the streets and online.

So if they flew in where did they get all that ammunition from?.....

Supposedly they flew to Denver and bought a van and then drove to SLC to buy ammo there. Then headed back to Pueblo. Not sure why they would drive through Canon City unless they were taking the smaller highways instead of Interstate highways (Freeways). I would think the ammo seller in Salt Lake City is getting a rectal exam like no other!

Wonder how comfortable Muscovites are feeling at the moment

Oh, we feel great - the weather is great, it's never been like this at this time of the year, everything is blooming. I spend a lot of time at the "dacha", 50 km from Moscow, just in that direction. I didn't feel anything particularly scary.
Unfortunately, such things happen, and they happened before the war. When there are a lot of old weapons in open areas, this is inevitable. Maybe it's a diversion, or maybe it's a violation of disposal regulations.

Hopefully they find out where the ammo was going. Staying here in the US and used in a future attack on large public events across the country. Cached ammo at many locations around the country for D day. ( we most likely won’t hear the truth)

Or if it was headed back across the southern border for the cartel. 100,000 rounds of AR10 and AK ammo in the hands of 50 guys could do alot of damage firing their way into any large stadium events.

No swat team could handle such an event. There would be thousands killed. Times however many locations were hit simultaneously.

Sorry, I was a Cub Scout. I always think of W.C.S. and try to plan accordingly

Thankfully this is all hypothetical

You probably have little idea how many people are willing to hand over their mother to a meat processing plant for American citizenship, so in this hypothetical situation, I would not expect something apocalyptic. I judge by the emigrants I know who were forced to settle in Canada, even though their destination was the United States (may Canadians forgive me). And it seems that Canadians often travel to the United States on a work visa, and not vice versa.

you obviously know little or nothing about canada , but I’m sure Afghanistan and Ukraine make a Russian an expert on assimilating cultures. How’d it work out for you guys anyway?

The Rise of Russia’s African Empire

Africa is no longer a peripheral arena—it’s becoming a central platform for Moscow’s global strategy. The West should beware.

No real ID check to buy ammo. Just be an adult. And you can buy as much as your wallet will allow.

Shill buyer(s) or many illegal aliens have official gov IDs like drivers’ licenses. Not a MAGA right wing conspiracy theory… similar to situation with voting. Even though many want you to believe otherwise

I just put 93,500 rounds of .308 into my shopping cart. Free delivery

I used to buy my gloves oversized 1- because I couldn’t stick handle anyway and 2- because they come off easier. Coach used to call me a forth line defensive alternate. @WAB didn’t you say onetime you’ve got damage to the bones in your hand from dropping the gloves as a youth?

Both wrists have been rebuilt as a result of dropping the gloves. We always wrapped our wrists for more support. I’m not sure if it did a lot of good. The trick is speed. Push the guy back half a step or pull him forward half a step. If he’s off balance and you’ve got your feet, you can get two or three good ones in before the linesmen stop you.

You will understand the implications of this, when I moved to Dartmouth I worked security on the Halifax waterfront. One of the other guys recruited me to play for his team. It was the Preston NightHawks! Sure glad I was on their end of the rink!

The left is going to use this and try to impose some restriction on buying ammo.

Wouldn't it be better to impose restrictions on the left? Asking for a friend.

In CA you have to be a legal resident or citizen as there is a background check. I think some other leftist States like IL, NY, NJ also require it. On free States no background checks.

This is true, there is a cottage industry in Texas of providing fake I.D.'s to illegals, these operations have been running for decades and are facilitated by U.S. citizens of Mexican decent who have family members working at DMVs and other various institutions with access to the data systems and ID manufacturing machines.

There is a reason why gun dealers in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona & California have to report to the ATF if they sell multiple handguns or semi auto rifles with detachable magazines to any one person within 5 consecutive business days.

The cartels used to be so brazen about "Straw purchases" that they would advertise in Spanish news papers along the border looking for people to purchase weapons and hand them over to their local cartel henchmen.

This was the same reason operation "fast and furious" which turned into a complete shit show when weapons were allowed to walk out of stores for the purpose of tracking the straw buyers..... Only for the weapons to end up at both Mexican and USA homicide scenes; including the murders of both US & Mexican Federal agents.

This was the case the got Eric Holder his contempt of congress charge for refusal to testify about the disastrous operation that many believe was started as a means to bring gun control to the USA.

You know it's bad when an ATF agent stationed in Mexico calls up the Phoenix office and says......
"When are you gonna shut down this G** D*** operation, we're getting hurt down here!"

In other immigration news..... What are 2 Mexican nationals doing with 180K rounds of ammo?

Apparently these 2 men flew from Mexico to Denver then rented a van and got pulled over for not dimming their high beams; and in true Mexican fashion they had 8,800lbs of ammo stacked in a GMC 2500 cargo van which has a cargo weight capacity of 3,000lbs!

Proving that even the Mexicans know that 308 is the best battle rifle cartridge and not that 556 poodle popper.

762NATO - making cover into concealment. Best delivered via one of my fav's, the FAL.
