The article's writer doesn't even have a good imagination for writing this hoax. It's that, or he's intentionally dropping clues to us that it's all BS,

Insider information reportedly from General James M. Scott
Reference in the story to US Transportation Command - headquartered where? Scott AFB.

Reference in the story to "A test-run for [Operation] PREAKNESS was actually conducted in early December in Clinger, PA."
"Clinger"? Really? As in a gun rights peron is a "bitter clinger"?. Please.

This story is clearly put out there by someone thinking that gun owners are all stupid lunatics with mega tin-foil hat conspiracy complexes that can't tell reality from BS. The hope is to get us all up in arms over this before they reveal it's false with the intent of making us look like fools, thus further degrading our pro-2A position.
