God you are so easy! Thanks again for making my point come into focus. (and busting up on FDR) Not after it starts, Sir Bucksalot, before, to be prepared.but what about the rogue packs of bikers taking over poorly armed towns?
Or think of any other idea where it would not be good to have less that all the bullets you can get.
If you let it be limited to handguns and other reasonable weapons and the bad guys bring AKs we have to depend on police presence to protect us.
Think about it. WHEN we do have a breakdown in civil order, and we already have, more than once, there is a very rowdy underbelly in cities that will have trouble feeding themselves. The inner Cities are already fragile with a just in time, 1 week at most, food supply.
So, if you can get out at all it will be on a motorcycle. Now you can say oh, not possible. Really?
Now, should the Hell's Angels head out into Idaho or Nevada? Or, (the dream of the 90s is alive in) Portland?
Or maybe just ambush the Law in Banks or Sandy? Not talking about if there is a rash of it and Congress finally does something.
No, it's if the Chinese are successful Tomorrow, in attacking our power grid. They keep trying you know.
If the grid crashes, not after it keeps crashing over and over, if there is no warning, and some armed and evil guys appear at intersections in a certain neighborhood in West Hills....how many bullets?
The phones don't work, the gird is fucked. All is the wildest rumor, the cops aren't around. You can't call them anyway. The religious zealots are not making thing better with these bonfires and screaming. New Orleans over the entire west coast. Bucky has a cellar full of good stuff he is set, he has his dog and an axe.
Don't you wish you had some bullets and an a AR, 40 of your armed buddies to set up a perimeter at the first sign of trouble?
If not, why not? You can depend on luck sure. It probably would not happen to you. But, it is what the Founders were thinking about, civil disorder. The idea that the police can protect us is not a faithful concept. And waiting until warning, never happens.
When that guy tried to come into my sweet old grandmothers house at night, instant civil disorder. She had to protect herself. We keep and bear arms, to regulate the chumps, that's why.
