We apparently have domestic terrorists:

Forget duct tape.

With America at war and Americans at risk, this group of young Campbell County men figured their homeland security plan ought to include some heavy artillery.

But guns, ammunition and survival kits cost money, and the newly formed American Independence Group was not in line for any government grants.

So, AIG President Ronald Eric Myers hatched a plan to rob a Campbell County bank and a pawnshop and, if the group had any spare time, torch a hotel full of Hispanics, a FBI agent testified Thursday.

I’ve already forgotten duct tape. This is rather scary. Further in the story, we learn that the two are charged with attempted bank robbery and possession of an AK47 rifle, which is odd because the AK47 rifle is banned by the 1994 assault weapons ban.
