The scariest part? Despite all of our guns there's a very good chance people will continue to give them up willingly until there's nothing left.

When the food finally becomes a problem, as it once did in the ussr, as it once did in china, then, and only then, will people realize they've made a mistake. I know very few people who keep two weeks worth of food in their house. Even less who have enough drinking water.

Stuff is going to get worse before it gets better. Hopefully the end result of all this madness can be pushed back another decade.

We have more guns than ten years ago... they don't care that we have guns.

They also have bigger guns, bombs, tanks, mace, sound cannons, weaponized 5G, control over the power, water, sewage, food, etc.

Politicians don't fear nukes.

They don't fear the .50 or the rpg. The days of some sniper with a rifle are over.

They fear the small guns hidden in a pocket. The cheap, one shot, plastic guns downloaded to pass through metal detectors. I'm pessimistically optimistic that technology is advancing faster than they can stop it.

At the end of the day, these people balance their ego against their fear. They want to be outside around cheering sheep listening to them speak. You don't have to take on a tank with your m4. Even if you did, there's a hundred more tanks waiting to replace it. It's the people giving orders to the tanks that are a possible problem.

I don't have any answers, but I also don't think we have anything to worry about for many years. Go online and look at the people in office today. They aren't smart enough to understand what they're doing half the time. Until I see groups of politicians getting charged with treason I'm not going to panic. Despite all the conspiracy theories I don't think the government is as united as they pretend to be. I don't think the majority of politicians will surrender quietly if their coworkers started threatening them with the death penalty. Which is a good thing. It means there's a chance for hope if something does go horribly wrong.

I think the current limitations of food transportation is a big problem. Who knows... Maybe Elon with self driving trucks will work out for the better? It's not impossible.

They'll need plastic ammo with plastic shell casings. Plastic primers?. IDK.

Only a matter of time. A lot of people are thinking about it. Could happen in the future.
