This sounds good, but you're failing to take into account chemtrails. Think about it man, they already got you. Best to move to a safe location like say far out

This sounds good, but you're failing to take into account chemtrails. Think about it man, they already got you. Best to move to a safe location like say far outside of any US border.

You and kghose laugh at me and my father, but it sounds like we've got proven, time tested answers to violent crime directed at us, and you're in the "Dial 911 and die" category. Latest failure: dial 911, get transferred to voicemail, and end up shooting one of the intruders: http://fox8.com/2014/06/14/man-shoots-intruder-after-his-911-call-is-transferred-to-voice-mail/ http://fox8.com/2014/06/14/man-shoots-intruder-after-his-911... I do hope that you have enough moral consistency that if or when things get nasty, you don't pester your "gun nut" and "prepper" acquaintances but accept the fate your unpreparedness would normally dictate.

  > I do hope that you have enough moral consistency that if or when things get nasty, you don't pester your "gun nut" and "prepper" acquaintances but accept the fate your unpreparedness would normally dictate. What are you talking about? If Armageddon comes, we're obviously going to murder you and take all your supplies. I mean, "moral consistency" is nice and everything, but it's nothing weighed against the survival of my family. Maybe you should invest more effort in shoring up our civilization, instead of eagerly anticipating its downfall.

    "If Armageddon comes, we're obviously going to murder you and take all your supplies." And how will you accomplish this when we have the guns, and you don't? Who's going to bell the cat? "Armageddon" will very likely kill me due to disruptions in pharmaceutical supply (I'm 53 with a chronic medical condition). That you assume I'm "eagerly anticipating [civilization's] downfall", and doing nothing in the meanwhile to delay or forestall it, from no more data than that I'm prepared for bad things and bad times, says rather a lot. That this dehumanizing attitude is so common with your breathen certainly makes my moral calculations for the future a lot simpler.

      >And how will you accomplish this when we have the guns, and you don't? Well, people who pile on guns for such situations, usually aren't the smartest apples in the orchard, so to speak. So it should be quite easy to take those from them.

        "people who pile on guns for such situations, usually aren't the smartest apples in the orchard, so to speak" And you know this how? Are all these people openly expressing contempt of me and mine, of preparing oneself for bad things and bad times, demonstrating that they are smart? I also wonder how you divined "pile on" from this discussion. You can infer from it that I and my father each own at least one gun, but beyond that?

You realize home invasions are a real thing, right? Personally, I think hba's preparations are a little excessive (certainly far beyond anything I would feel necessary), but he's not crazy...
