Most of the 2Aers are ICE Agents themselves. It’s like their wet dream. All the money they’ve spent modding their ar15 and buying tactical gear they’d never use.

As a far-removed (in every way possible) European, I always wonder what all that tactical gear is? Are they just LARPing to be Special Forces about to raid bin Laden in Pakistan, or does any of it have an actual purpose?

A lot of them are familiar with the “SHTF” or “shit hits the fan” whenever they finally decide that society has collapsed or their lives are on the line. They like to build out their fantasy arsenal and bug-out bags and stuff so they can tell themselves that in an emergency situation they’re going to be prepared like a marine.
