Thanks for posting this up, Dave. Good article and a lot of interesting comments that can be read there. We are experiencing our country going Soc1alist. Am I permitted to bring up what happens when a bunch of ignorant ghetto thugs are given affirmative action positions that include police powers. ? Then there's the pretenders, criminals wearing disguises dressed up like police and national guard. It comes down to can you make four fast head shots at 9:00,11:00, 1:00, 3:00 ? "We are from the government and we're here to help ourselves to your food, your generator, your daughter." etc.
Interesting: c1al1s blocks Soc1al1sm !
Those four fast head shots are not necessary if, like me, you own one transferable 5.56 machine gun. It is the official squad automatic weapon for my block's militia!
I have often said that I am less concerned about needing firearms in times of revolution than I am in times of devolution. When the shit hits the fan and things devolve into "The Lord of the Flies" and it is every rat for his own ass, sometimes a firearm and only a firearm can save you and yours. Such times are almost always the result of natural disasters bringing about chaos and loss of governmental services for a few hours to a few days.
Generally speaking, you need a firearm and the means to stay warm, dry, and hydrated for about 4-5 days. Which means plastic tarps, sleeping bags, and a way to purify water. Food isn't really that important because if you aren't rescued within 4-5 days, the situation is probably so bad that most civilians had/have no hope anyway.
