What does it say?

This report describes recent examples of the frightening behavior of far-right and anti-government extremists, including their interest in guns.  For example, it tells the story of Nancy Genovese, a 53-year-old mother of three from Long Island who, in reaction to an Iowa National Guard exercise that caused her to suspect an imminent government takeover, purchased an XM-15 assault rifle and began snooping at an Air National Guard airbase (p. 24).

How can I use it?

Use the anecdotes in this report to document the connection between far-right extremists and the gun issue.
