Thread: this would make me very nervous, record gun sales in US

I was watching a programme on TV called Doomsday Preppers. Many of them have guns. Sorry, they all have guns - one of them had 31 guns of various types from handguns through to an AK47. He had 15,000 rounds of ammunition.

Trying to be a prepper in Australia would be somewhat harder. One can’t even own a shanghai in this country.

The question is, what would a sane [ leaves out a few] person in this country be prepping for? Bob

EMP, financial collapse and hyper-inflation.

The catch word is sane, Bob

Another "friendly fire" incident:

Man kills masked teen, learns it's his son | adelaidenow

Why do people think having guns solves problems?

Quite frankly if his son want to wear a ski mask and run at him with a knife in the dark then he deserves no less.

So insane that the heads of the US military consider a potential EMP attack to be their greatest threat. Instantly turn life back to the 1800's with no way out except large amounts of foreign assistance to rebuild/replace all of their electrical network systems.

Sort of like 1778, I guess. If this EMP thing happens, don't take any trinkets off foreign sailors. We've been living under the threat of mass destruction since the first Atomic bomb, nothing much has changed. There is still no need for Aussies to arm themselves like the " preppers " . Imagine those nut cases running loose after a disaster, just doesn't bear thinking about, Bob
