Weapon Stockpiles, people preparing for rebellion in U.S for many years?

The other day my U.S history teacher was talking about gun control or something, and somehow he stumbled upon a strange topic. He said that there are people who have been buying guns, ammunition, everything and stockpiling it in warehouses, waiting for the day of rebellion. And, that rich organizations are funding it. He said it has been going on for many, many years. Is this true? Has anyone else heard of anything like this?

Sounds like your "teacher" was trying to tell ya something lol..Anyways I have heard of such things but just rumors.
Hell in the Declaration of Indepence it even gives these people a reason to try to overthrow the government, read this.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, having its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
Now many people will say but our Government is not really that bad, but when you look at it neither was the British government back then, all the basicly wanted was for the colonies to pay their taxes...

Is it true that people stockpile weaponry? of course
Is it true that a small portion of them may be preparing for a rebellion? Probably, there have always been nutjobs and there always will be
Is a rebellion, or any kind of major conspiracy to rebell likely to happen? Not under the present circumstances.
Most of the serious stockpilers probably have something else in mind to prepare for, most likely WWIII
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

America is the revolution..
We threw out the Kingdom of England and France...
This is why in England you can't own a gun. Not even if your a bobbie policeman with like
25 years on the job in a gang infested area where the perps have guns. ..
America likes guns.. we have always had them so this is nothing new.
I think Thomas Jefferson once said to his Nephew.. "The pistol, master it's use and carry it always"...
However there is also something else really bad on the horizon. I was watching a documentary and it made me start doing some research. By 2016 the world will be having serious issues with gas and oil. More so then now. Even to the point of rationing and such. This could cause alot of fighting and worse. Most people think oil will last forever. Even with the recent hike in prices still people dont realize just how bad it could get if we keep burning this stuff like we are.

I own a gun.... and have a licence for it.
in the UK we can have guns just not "assault" weapons or hand guns. You have to have a licence before you own a gun and that involves having an advance disclosure police check, also I have a gun powder licence (i use flintlock guns to shoot as a hobby) that too needs police checks.

Don't get me wrong, God save the queen and all.
My grandfather fought for England and stayed there a few years after WWII as well.
My point was just about governement and fear of an armed populace.
Without getting too into domestic U.S. politics. If the original poster someone was under the
illusion that some groups of people where stocking up for overthrow..
Well it's not the Skeletor (Pelosi) and Hillary crowd. They are anti gun. Most democrats don't like guns.
Repugs are the ones out there mostly stocking up. Just so that you have your "overthrow" perspective on.
I think it should be the choice of each household and state to decide on laws and ownership.

Bush is evil and I hate him but contrary to popular belief he has won two elections proving that most of these people in this country supported the bum. Thats another reason why I feel like alot of countries despise America now, they can't just say we suck now because of Bush, he is not a dictator but was voted by the majority of the people.. So if he sucks, so must they...

ok im sorry to tell you this but both times bush lost the "popular vote" and the first time after the courts has named bush as the winner later recounts showed he lost. but i agree people are loosing patience with the american public and are starting to question whats really going on in the great US of A. Myself i blame the bath water the baby is ok

no, your problems lies elsewhere. But the potential conflict would be worldwide and obviously not fought by handguns from street to street.
And why is your teacher telling you about conspiracy theories when he's supposed to be teaching you U.S History?
"Between 1993-1999, gun deaths in the United States have declined 27%. (SOURCE: www.cdc.gov/ncipc/wisqars/default.htm, WISQARS, National Center for Injury Control and Prevention, accessed March, 2002.)"
I guess one could ask if it's risen again since 1999 though, which wouldn't be so positive...
But then, there's other elements of gun 'freedom' that make me VERY happy to be living in a country with very heavy gun ownership controls.
Such as:
Gun Deaths - International Comparisons
Gun deaths per 100,000 population (for the year indicated):
Homicide Suicide Unintentional
USA 4.08 (1999) 6.08 (1999) 0.42 (1999)
Canada 0.54 (1999) 2.65 (1997) 0.15 (1997)
Switzerland 0.50 (1999) 5.78 (1998) -
Scotland 0.12 (1999) 0.27 (1999) -
England/Wales 0.12 (1999/00) 0.22 (1999) 0.01 (1999)
Japan 0.04* (1998) 0.04 (1995) <0.01 (1997)
* Homicide & attempted homicide by handgun

Hardly something to be proud of, and definitely not an endorsement of gun freedom. Or perhaps it's just a reflection of your society?

"(The) Iraqi people owe the American people a huge debt of gratitude." - George W Bush.
Oh. My. God.
I never said big corperations were using consumers as stashers. From what i heard, he said they were most likely being stashed in warehouses or something.
Idk why he was talking about it, but I know history ties in with the present, which is the only reason we have history in the first place.
IMO I think that there probably are probably lots of weapons being stashed in warehouses, and many probably funded by rich organizations, maybe even celebraties. Look at how many anti-gov't bands there are out there. They could easily invest in something like this. As far as there actually being a civil revolt in the U.S, I think it's probable... I don't think America has reached QUITE that extreme of conditions in which it might be necessary yet, but the way things are going I think they will get that way. People are getting curious, as someone posted on here...They are wondering just what the heck our government is doing. The only thing is, I think may WW3 happen before then. Idk...people are realy upset with our govt as of now, but to my knowledge none have gotten radical yet.
See, the problem with that whole theory you got there, is that all this conspiracy stuff exists pretty much only on the internet. If you judge the US by the population that uses the internet and frequents places like this and others, then you you're right.
Except most people don't.
As to whether WW3 is actually underway is up for debate, and has been debated for years. It's like the "coming civil war" in Iraq. How long can it be coming before they finally admit it's already here.
On the reverse side though, talking up a WW3-in-stages can be a highly effective political tool.
All in all, no one can tell you what is coming, what to believe, who to trust. You need to do a lot of reading around, talking to people, questioning your society-set beliefs and make up your mind for yourself.
Personally, if 'radicals' and 'extremists' are stockpiling weapons in your country, I don't personally think it'll be to use against your own government. Why would a government let automatically guns become so rampant in their own country?
But then, the future is up for grabs.

Amendment 2 in the bill of rights is there for a reason.
The definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
I live in Kentucky, and I have about a dozen guns in my gun shelf. My grandpa has another dozen also.
It may have been in 1620, but now it is an actual country. Same goes for Australia, which unlike colonial America WAS a penal colony, and had a 100% population of criminals and debtors.
What is all this race war nonsense? This isn't 1840, there isn't blood spilled in the streets over race issues.
