Keith,
You might have read a couple of my posts when I referred to that speech.
While the NRA was fundraising, he accomplished just that goal.
It is in place as we speak.
There were purchases of all manner of weapons, ammo, etc. As high as the retail purchases were, they paled in comparison.
The obvious question came up.
Since civilian paramilitary forces don't deploy overseas, what enemies are they prepping for?
