Could be, they (Homeland Security and ICE) are just "Catching up" after the election in 2008 . . for three months you couldn't buy (or afford to if you found some) most popular Ammo. .223, .308, '06, 9 mm, .357, .40 or .45 was almost impossible to find . . and it's taken about two years to get the prices back down and the inventory back up . . .
I'd hope that this dumb SOB doesn't want to challenge the citizens of this country with a bunch of bulls . . They're outnumbered and outgunned. . and they know it . .
BUT . . I was told (about a year ago by a M/Sgt in the Army) that when and if you see military and federal law enforcement's families being "Secured" then you'll know it's time to load your guns . .
