Interesting thread:

Thread: HEADS UP! Here we go, US gov on the kill path, ARE YOU READY? Awesome read. The time is now, markets are ready to fail, here we go!

From the link in the thread (Naturalnews.com) :
My friend, a deputy Sheriff who runs a gun store, says he has to "pull 20 strings" just to keep rifles in stock. They are flying off the shelves like nothing he's ever seen before in over two decades of business. Multiple firearms companies in the USA have publicly announced they are REJECTING all new orders from retailers because they are so backlogged in manufacturing guns that they can't even keep up.

By my estimates, Americans have already purchased over 10 million firearms in just the first four months of 2012. And the numbers just keep growing.

What's going on with all this?

Regardless of what you think about firearms, the honest answer is that Americans are legally and lawfully arming to the teeth. They are stockpiling ammo like never before. They're buying emergency medical supplies and stored food. One home builder I know told me he's working on a luxury subdivision in a major U.S. city where every single homeowner opted to build a "bunker room" inside the house as an add-on. (I had no idea...)
