I doubt it, this is more fear porn. It's not uncommon for soldiers with live ammo to not have mags in. This isn't Afghanistan, they're doing security work. The chances of an accidental discharge are too high so they won't load up unless there's a real dangerous situation.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have mags in and leave the chamber empty?

I actually asked a veteran about that. Apparently it’s thought of as “escalation of force”. The physical act of loading a mag is your first visual warning. Chambering a round is the second visual warning. There is no third warning

The third is a warning shot.

To your center of mass.

Gunman comes up

"Hol up I need to chamber this mag to warn you."

Gets shot

But you know, what you said kinda sounded cool I guess, so yay?

Sounds legit I'd take that as a warning something about the sound of a cartridge racking into a chamber that just says back the fuck up.

I don't think anyone is in a hurry to see President Harris.

More likely this is to prevent a Kent State incident.

So they are so scared of the masses they bring is massive numbers of troops then fear the troops so much they take their ammo?

Let the masses bring ammo to the troops and take back our country.

Nope, Biden's transition team can ask anything they want but they have no power. Trump is commander of the armed forces and because we are under a state of emergency Trump's authority over the National Guard overrides the Mayor of DC and all 50 State Governors.

So they're playing by THOSE rules but not election rules?

The Marines arrived last night as well. The swamp dwellers are projecting like they are still in charge while their Satanic temples are being surrounded by fences and barbed wire facing inward. You do the math.

I hate to break it to you but Q was a psyop. You fell for an old con. They did it in Russia too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Trust

Can't tell from the image, but a short magazine might be hidden. 10 round mags commonly found in commifornia are hard to see.

Could have one in the chamber and that's all you need.

A patriot may have to smuggle a round in. this might add some bacteria to the round, maybe cause a nasty infection where it hits?

The military doesn't issue 10 round mags.

Troops don't have a pay roll to go buy their own?

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

I have never seen anyone do it. I doubt anyone in the NG would spend their own money to buy something as stupid as a 10 round mag when the Army issues you a 30 round.

Bullets get hot, very hot; they'd cook off any bacteria.
