The “Blue helmets” are the real enemy of the Constitution, and they will come. Be vigilant, and arm up. No one will protect you, but you.

what the hell does the FBI need ammo for?

Yeap….Keep the ammo in the hands of the Feds & make sure the American people are unable to procure it!
Reticle black contrasts nicely with UN Blue……
No, it’s makes a bunch of blue helmets turning purple.
