I guess it is safe to assume that you are a US citizen... Do you pay taxes? Do you have a driver's license? if you hunt, do you have a hunting license/permit? do you use the currency sanctioned by this government? Do you buy FDA approved medicine? USDA approved/certified meat? if you travel abroad, do you use US passport? do you call cops for a police report when filing an insurance claim?
if you answered YES to at least one of the questions (there are many similar questions that can be asked), YOU are submitting to "their" every demand... and since you are probably a gun owner, you are also ready to take on the tyrannical government that we have - as the 2nd amendment says NOTHING about protecting your home from a criminal, it only talks about bearing arms in the state regulated militia...
Which is clear violation of 18 USC 2385, the US criminal code...
what you are proposing, is ANARCHY, when the stores are out of supplies, you are suggesting people with arms taking care for themselves, effectively leaving out the weak and disabled, like little kids, elderly... I want to eat, just like anyone else, but i will not take last piece of meal from the mouth of pregnant woman, just because i have a gun... i have dignity... i am a human being... i am a civilized person, i did not just step out the woods... i'd rather die as a lion, from hunger, than live as a jackal...
really, you should read the history books, not written by the NRA - the 2nd amendment, written in 1791... I hope you know what was going on at the time, and WHY that amendment was written... i hope the name Roberspier rings a bell, as well as Bonaparte... And why the forefathers were so worried about the tyrrany... not about the criminals in your bedroom... not about empty shelves in the local 7-eleven... My little boy had super hard time letting go of his pacifier - but it would be looking ridiculous on 9 year old's face... same, the 2nd amendment has no real life bearings on 200+ year old democracy and looks at least, out of place on this pillar of the world's democracy - we are adamantly against prolifiration of weapons abroad, as it DECREASES the overall security but somehow, prolifiration of weapons domestically - increases it?...
and assuming that we were all sheltered and ended up on this forum is a serious mistake - not everyone here had a luxury of being born in the rich, spoiled America - some of us came here for the freedom... If i hear you say, "then go back to your country", it really would answer many questions about your mental state, and add one more reason why folks like you should not have guns.
