Now last but not least. This will be the hardest for you liberals, and one admitted socialist to believe. So I will give you fair warning. This is a hypothetical situation that involves the Government failing. I know, the Government never fails, and is basically (ah I caught myself that time). The Government is not mother nature though, so I'm not sure what you would consider it. They never fail, we will just leave it at that.
Anyway, on to the point. What if the World as we know it just stopped. I am referring to a terrorist attack on the Power Grid of the U.S., or any other major attack against a major target, or a natural disaster where basic Nation Wide services (of any country) just stop dead in there tracks. What do we do? Yes I know the likely hood of this happening is slim to none at best, but just a hypothetical theory. We all want to believe that the Government would come to our aid, such as National Guard, and Police, but what if they couldn't? Now as a Gun owner, I have more chance of survival than a non Gun Owner.
Why?
1.) I have Guns, so when I run out of food, and the local store does as well, I can take my shotgun and hunt rabbits. My wife knows how to cook them. I can also take my rifle and hunt deer.
2.) I can defend myself against would be looters.
3.) I know how to shoot my guns, because I practice with them.
Does it mean I'm guaranteed to survive? No! There is no guarantee of anything, but I have a larger chance.
Now I know what your thinking. This will never happen of course, and your probably right. But even if it did I would just buy guns off the street right? Wrong! If an event of this magnitude took place, money would be worthless, so not sure what your going to use as currency. Plus everyone who doesn't have a gun would be trying to get a gun. Supply and Demand would be a nightmare. And even if you managed to get a gun, if you don't believe in owning guns, then it is likely you have no idea how to use one, so your just going to be shooting air.
I know you will just accuse me of being paranoid of nothing. I assure you I do not expect anything like this to happen, but I do understand the notion that nothing is impossible. No I do not have months of food stored away. But I do live in the country, and I do have well water, so if city water failed I would not be affected at all. If Electricity fails. Well if you have a Generator the fuel in it would last for a little while assuming it is not stolen. Then you would have to resort to attempting to burn wood for cooking and staying warm.
How many of you would still be able to provide for yourself and your families if such a thing of this magnitude was to happen?
