[QUOTE="Mutineer, post: 5197488, member: 69587"] I agree that a firearm is useless in defending from a cyber attack on our financial system. In that event, I believe that people are going to panic. And there will be anarchy and chaos. And therein lies the problem. An otherwise healthy person can survive a very long time without money. All that is needed is water, food, and shelter from bad weather. Even the dumbest among us will figure that out very quickly. Everybody is very much going to want everybody else's food and water. There will be no such thing as 'enough'. Canned food will be gold. To anyone with a shred of sense and sanity, the presence of a firearm is an effective deterrent to find someone else to loot. Think of how many people in your area who would have a difficult time feeding themselves and their family if EVERYTHING shut down for only two weeks. And then think how long it would take to re-stock all the looted grocery stores. If they are ever re-stocked at all. [/QUOTE]
