While organization (and essentially reorganization) of essential items like food, water, and shelter will be the top priority, those who cannot defend themselves will sacrifice the former three items. I just cannot see a group of uptown liberals from NYC suddenly embracing firearms, survival tactics, and learning to defend themselves- it is against their nature. Those who have neglected these "skills" (which are the norm for us rednecks), might find themselves in jeopardy.

Let us hope that anarchy never visits our soil and that we remain at peace and civil with one another.

Agreed.
In the cities especially the ones where personal firearms are banned where will the abiding folks find guns to protect themselves?
All the planning in the world won't help when you dont have the skill set to deliver.

I am sure there are things about your life that you can enjoy without waving around firearms.

Best wishes.

Why let the truth, get in the way of an agenda

The truth has no agenda.

I didn't get the quotes in the right order.

I was answering you in the first sentence.

and the rest was in reference to the previous 3 quotes.

What ... that's not liberal at all.

Liberal is sitting outside your front door waiting for FEMA to arrive and give you water and food and flashlights and toilet paper and all the necessities of life because you didn't prepare.

Rural communities are very tight with everyone, who knows everyone and everyone knows everyone's business and already help those that cannot help themselves. Not many government agencies ready to help out in BFE
Charity among the community to survive, already exist in Redneckville.

The city slickers rely on so many government services and agencies to survive in the sardine can of hell. Without government, they would eat themselves in the filth that would pile up.
