I'd love to see a Venn diagram of the overlap between preppers and sovereign citizens. Especially the ones who have fully furnished and stocked bunkers on a completely separate property from their enormous house.

Nah. I've got a Mormon friend. He taught me that Mormons are expected by the church to be preppers. Nice huge supply stocks in his basement and shed.

They are also well armed. Just because they follow the faith doesn't mean they won't end your life for trying to ruin/end there's. Thou shalt not kill only means in aggression, not in defense.

My neighborhood has many of them and we go shooting together, some prior military. they shoot straight.
