The Disneyland of Gun Paranoia

In a reductio ad absurdum of gun and ‘patriot’ paranoia, a group of right-wing patriots are planning a ‘fortress’ planned community in Idaho, done up with the full list of defensive walls, turrets and plenty of defensive positions to use when the feds finally come to confiscate your guns.

The best part is the map of the planned gun/fortress community. In addition to the defensive perimeter it also has “Interior Defensive Walls & Towers” so that if the Obama forces make a successful incursion into one part of the town patriots can still defend the parts of the town that remain free. Sort of like bulkheads in a ship.
