Would you make it?

people still lacking guns at this point in the game have already demonstrated they lack the mental capacity to survive such a scenario, and will become the victims of marauding gangs of cannibals

Actually, I can't legally own any guns due to have been being locked in the looney bin too many times.

That might just be a Virginia thing though.

Well, since you brought it up.. why locked up so many times? God. That must have been awful.

People with no guns would be suddenly trying to make some "redneck" friends. Lol.

The whole survival thing is serious business for some people these days. The world is going to shit and if there was some kind of collapse eventually, it's probably a good idea to have some kind of backup plan, even if it's just extra food/water and something to defend yourself with. But of course, if you feel that way you get told to take off the tinfoil hat or get called a redneck. Those people would be first to die imo.

I keep an open mind without being crazy about it.

the south will rise again

Unlikely. I live in a densely populated urban area so food would become scarce pretty quickly. My only hope would be to get out of the city while everyone is scrambling for food.

I wouldn't mind having an excuse to finish A Storm of Swords though.

The world is hardly going to shit.

The most threatening part of the whole idea is the amount of people with guns who are just waiting to use them for their own self interest instead of working together, or dying with a shred of dignity and integrity.

A. "Oh, when x happens I'm going to have my gun and I'm going to shoot people so that I can survive."

Should be:

B. "When x happens I'm going to remain civil like a human fucking being, and do what I can to get by without fucking everyone over."

You're everything that is wrong with humanity.

How would I be "fucking everyone over" if I (or my family) were attacked with deadly force and I used my gun in self-defense?

Dying with dignity to me would mean I tried to fight for my life or the lives of others who are threatened. I think you assume the other side would be civil and fair. I don't.

Not sure if your post was aimed at me or not btw.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

America definitely is going to shit. The largest debt in the entire history of human civilization isn't going to simply disappear because you bury your head in the sand. The illusion that this isn't a fake economy built on fiat currency will eventually shatter, China will stop lending us money, and then the dollar will crash. We're already in the terminal stages of decay and collapse.

And you're right, we are "human fucking beings". We are animals with instincts that are the opp of civility. In a panic, most people will kill you for food. That's why you have a gun, to kill them and eat them first.
