[Serious Thread] When they come to take it...

If people are killing each other due to hunger on any thing more than a very isolated basis, do you really think the government is in any position to do anything?

Yes. That's what the Fema camps and MRAPS are for. The government has food and fuel for years.

I know things.

There's 340 million Americans. About 5 million total I think in military uniforms and under 1 million "cops". If the people start deciding what to do on their own, the government has no chance even if all 6 million or so of "us" turned actual NAZI.

They can make groups of people themselves do it for reward.

Wah mommy doesn't want me to join the army because she thinks something might happen. Wah. Yeah mine just said "go son, jump out of planes. You're invincible. We're not worried at all!"

I thought the same thing. At some point you have to grow up.

This thread is silly. People with concrete plans of action for such events do not discuss such on an Internet forum. Even hypothetical discussions are sketchy because they may unwittingly give away potential ideas actually in execution. First rule of Fight Club, and all.

Well yeah, they are. Look at Venezuela, Look at all the countries that were taken over by the commies in the last century.
Hey Airborne, my mother is (pushing one hundred) somewhat of a stoic, I'm the one that thought I was invincible. Still do sometimes, the recovery period seems to be getting longer these days though.

You know, like when the rarely seen General comes out before an assault and say we expect sixty percent casualties, and you look around at your pals and think, those poor bastards!

Anyway, if an EMP or any other major catastrophe strikes that causes massive hunger and people start killing each other for food scraps, you best believe gun grabbing will occur.

First they'll tell you to turn them in. Then they'll offer you food for them. Then they'll offer others rewards for any information leading to them. Then they'll go door to door.

It isn't paranoia. It's common sense.

If that happens, the biggest threat will be gangs of thugs looking for guns to continue their criminal activity. After a few days, the urban area will be in bad shape. After a week or two it will get to the suburbs and the police will likely be too busy with anything other than dealing with mobs of looters while getting their own families to safety.

If it came down to that in a Doomsday Scenario, the only Leo's left would be the Federal Ones. Local cops would be just as hungry as the town folk.

FED Leos are just like any other. They live in the general area they work, have families and homes to take care of and eat/shit like the rest. I think you watch too much TV and somehow think FEDS are waiting for the call to follow the direction of some socialist politician. The only difference is who signs the pay check. I work with local, state and other feds and while every individual brings some different experiences , everyone treats everyone as equals. Well maybe not the FBI.lol
