What does that even mean? Are you upset they cancelled 3rd grade and you didn't get you milk and a nap?
Notice how all the "patriots" cannot wait to start shooting their fellow Americans? Reminds me of those traitorous Confederates who so many still celebrate their departure from the United States and the Constitution they claimed to live by....
Not sure what about this product inspired your post, but you might want to purchase this high-end retard helmet to protect your head.
"Not sure what about this product inspired your post"
The NAME of the PRODUCT? You failed to read the extremely large print.
"you might want to purchase this high-end retard helmet to protect your head."
Said the guy who couldn't understand the basic written word.
Have you ever read “On Killing” by Dave Grossman? Most, if not all, of the people spouting their desire for a 2nd Civil War in the USA have no idea what a psychological toll it would take. It’s not only incredibly difficult for most men and women to take another person’s life, but the added challenge for those persons to be their fellow countryman and countrywoman would make it nearly impossible. Let it be what it is: vented frustration. Nothing more.
If push comes to shove and we do find ourselves in a civil war, then we will see what these supposed patriots do.
That said, a helmet like this is typically pretty expensive. This one seems to be pretty awesome for the price.
I haven't read “On Killing” but I will definitely look into. I agree with your statement that most of these people are talking out of their asses however I think their rhetoric is more dangerous then simply 'vented frustration' as such idle talk can spread and propagate to the point it is more than just empty words.
Regarding the helmet, my understanding is AR500 makes really good stuff (with insane lead times) however you can get similar MICH style IIIA helmets for $300-ish from other reputable vendors.
It's a very interesting read, and I'd highly recommend it. It happens to be on the FBI's required reading list - along with handful of other "more elite" military groups.
Agreed on the rhetoric, but at this point it's just that. My personal opinion is that most in the 2A advocate community would rather work toward a peaceful resolution through standard communication and legal means. It seems to be the extreme right and left who are more comfortable taking violent, illegal action to accomplish their goals. I clearly don't advocate that we work toward a civil war in the USA, as that will overall weaken our country on a global scale. However, we are where we are - with more and more people finding themselves on opposing sides with no possible compromise.
AR500 does make very good stuff. I have a few of their plate carriers with plates, and they're great. They took forever to arrive, but I knew that going in. I'll have to check out the MICH IIIA helmets - any recommendation for a vendor?

Got one of these for the other half of the Siamese twin that I'm dating. It beats getting a padded headboard for our bed, cheaper too!
Great helmet. Picked up 7 of these. Keep two in my truck, one under my bed, wife has one, kids each have one and one is in the dog’s house.
Wow, they sure weren't kidding when they said the price would go up after the pre-order period was over! Yikes!
Curious how these stack up against Opscore... obviously not apples to apples but still
If that is in fact The Patriot helmet where in the F is the Stars and Stripes sticker?!
Haven’t read “0n Killing” ? Have you tried * Blank Comic Book * It’s 150 pages of fun you can draw your Comics in..
