Well it seems likely it is not shown to some members as they do not have a Facebook account.
Ah that might be it as I'm seeing the post now. I do actually have an account but never actually use it.

That Uzi improvised to shoot 7.62 is an interesting modification. |

However, there's also black market dealers for that. |

Feds Say Police Found Pick Up Truck Full of Bombs With 'Napalm Effect', Guns Near US Capitol (Details only of captured weapons) Coffman, 70, told police he had mason jars filled with "melted Styrofoam and gasoline." Federal investigators believe that combination, if exploded, would have the effect of napalm "insofar as it causes the flammable liquid to better stick to objects that it hits upon detonation," according to the court record. Police also found cloth rags and lighters. The court documents said that those items and the explosive-filled mason jars "in close proximity to one another constitute a combination of parts" that could be used as a "destructive device." Coffman had parked his pickup truck at 9:15 a.m. ET on First St SE on the Hill, near the National Republican Club, commonly called the Capitol Hill Club. That building is within a block of a large US House office building and the Library of Congress, according to the complaint. The truck also had a handgun on the passenger seat and an M4 Carbine assault rifle, along with rifle magazines loaded with ammunition, police said. When police found and searched him about a block away after dusk, Coffman was also carrying a 9mm handgun and a .22-caliber handgun in each of his front pockets, the police complaint said. None of the weapons found in his truck or on his person were registered to him. FEDS SAY MAN CHARGED AFTER ALLEGEDLY TEXTING HE WANTED TO SHOOT PELOSI Inside the trailer, agents found three guns -- a Glock 19, a 9 mm pistol and an assault rifle -- and "approximately hundreds of rounds of ammunition."

Taking that to its logical end... U-2 and Firebee drones shot down by China in the 60's, and presently shown in a Beijing museum
Note: the PRC shot down 5 U-2s, 17 drones, and a whole bunch of different spy planes and infiltrator transports between 1950 and 1970.
Basically the CIA offloaded the risk onto Taiwan air force, the ROCAF.

I'm getting an inability to access the thread because they refuse to accept Britain's not in the EU!!
Had heard a few days back about the pipe-bombs, on BBC News but hadn't heard anything since so was beginning to wonder whether it was some false rumour. Does show how extreme some of the rioters were.
