[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2582253, member: 9374"] Good points here. What happens if something major goes down? Cattle ranches and stockyards suddenly empty. No food at WalMart. Fisheries out of business. Farmers not bringing crops to market. We are able to support a population of 350 million in this country NOT because of its natural bounty, but because we've found ways to mass-produce food and process it and transport it to market. Let's face it - even trying to support 1% of our current population without mass-production capabilities would be painfully difficult. All existing preserved food already ganked or eaten. All of a sudden, thousands or tens of thousands heading out into the woods every day to hunt, fishing out ponds, lakes and rivers, etc. Could pretty quickly (easily in a few months) have most things hunted/fished out. Scary thought. But no, I'm not giving up my firearm. And nothing in the scenario says the other people DON'T have firearms... just that they want yours. Maybe to ensure you're not coming back later to get "more" of their stores. [/QUOTE]
