Just out of curiousity

When this discussion comes up, folks always talk about being able to hunt. But, isn't EVERYONE else going to be in those woods the first few weeks? Not a deer, rabbit, squirrel, raccoon, possum, crow or buzzard to be found within a very short time, I would think.

I personally try to stay out of places where guns aren't welcome as well. That is where mass shootings happen....

Me too, elwood; but the list of places that don't allow guns is growing. And now there's this move by several chains that don't allow open carry-- just a step to the right and they will not allow guns at all in their stores.

I have accepted the fact of my mortality, after all, I'm in my 60's in a world where the average lifespan is 76. It was a lot harder to look at my children and grandchildren and accept theirs as well. All I can do is pray that if they do have to die, it will be quick.

How does one prepare for martial law? Like if some guy declared a national emergency and then decided to make himself supreme dictator.

Ferdinand Marcos former president of the Philippines declared martial law.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Marcos <--- You can check the wiki for the guy. It's really a good read.

I remember that guy, he was a ruthless dictator who looted the country. His wife had thousands of pairs of designer shoes, while people were destitute and hungry. Imelda Marcos is a term meaning excessive selfishness and thievery.

That is why we have the second amendment, so the people can rise up and overthrow a dictator government. That is why the Damocrats are bent on taking away our guns, so they can have absolute power and control. Corrupt, power mad liars who want to take over the country with socialism, followed by a total take over.
