Hey, there's no topic too contentious that I won't jump in to defend the messenger, just a bit anyway. Reading the wall poster / flyer as posted on Infowar, I can actually agree with it *except* for the labeling of bulk purchases of MREs and match cases as suspicious behavior. Because all the other commodities on the sample list - high capacity magazines, bipods or tripods, night vision goggles etc, when purchased *in bulk* actually do raise *suspicions*, in my mind anyway. Sure, there could be an occasional guy who coordinates a bulk purchase of super neato rifle tripods for 20-25 guys on a web forum, doing whatever it takes to save a few bucks. But the guy who wanders into a store and immediately clears out any available stock of tripods for AR-47s, pays with cash, and makes scurrilous comments about women, catholics, jews and blacks - yeah, that's suspicious. Would I report to the DOJ a bulk purchaser without any other suspicious behavior? Probably not.

Hey, some folks don't find bulk purchases of tripods and bipods as suspicious, and that's fine. If you removed the items you don't find suspicious from the list, or even remove the list of all suspicious items, is there a message behind the rest of the poster that you might actually agree with?

It doesn't really matter, I don't often shop mil surplus and I sure don't own a mil surplus shop. And I only own a modicum of MREs, just enough to eat for a week or so (which may be unusual by public standards, but is probably short of what folks on this forum stock). No scarier than your average LDS prepper...
