If you haven't already acquainted yourself with the idea of defending yourself with a firearm TODAY is the day. Ideally you would have three weapons an AR-15 (Palmetto State Armory or equivalent) because it's everywhere, a Glock 19 because everyone who's job it is to kill people has used it without complaint and a shotgun if you are unfamiliar with firearms I suggest an old (70s 80s) Remington 870 (pump action) police magnum if you are familiar with shotguns can't beat the Benelli m4 or Beretta 1301 I'm sure some of you have felt an ominous weight for awhile now like myself, feeling as though things cannot continue as they have and you are right. I've struggled myself with the idea that what we have been told to be is reliant upon a system that should not be. I'd like to open a discussion on this topic and how you think things will go. For all the non believers I'll pray for you.

Realistically a gun should be towards the bottom of the list when civilization falls. Anyone involved in a firefight has already lost, win or lose that particular battle. Just like a UFC fight, both combatants get hurt, it can't be avoided. It is better not to get involved in the fight.
The key is to create a community, an organized community can be extremely powerful. If the Community is large enough and powerful enough even the fall of civilization won't effect it.
Now is the perfect time to create a community and we can even do it on this forum, it doesn't have to be in a particular location. The world is in transition, cities are collapsing, people are separating and waking up. We can change the world right now.
I strongly disagree. you are talking about a population that the majority have never felt hunger, they've never had to actually defend their lives it's gonna be a mindfuck for people who have avoided responsibilities we take for granted. it's been said there's nine meals between Mankind and Anarchy but that's in a civilized society.. if Uber eats fails we'll probably end up with a bunch of suicidal keyboard warriors roaming the streets eating children
You are certainly correct to an extent, but what I am saying is that if we are part of an organized community we will be prepared for whatever happens. Obviously this means leaving Blue cites now.
I'll give you an example from my own family, they are farmers in Idaho. I talked to my Grandfather often about what it was like during the Great Depression, the world wars, etc. The bottom line was that there was no disruption of their lives, except that they had two Japanese prisoners for labor, who stayed after the war was over. . .
I fully expect the next collapse to be similar. All the 'action' is going to take place in the Affected Blue Zones. Self sufficient Red Zone areas will likely prosper.
All it takes to prep for the collapse is to have a skill that is in demand, there is no need to stockpile gold, guns, or food (other than a week or so worth) just stay connected with the community.. Our power is in our connections, what we give and what we provide
The Blue communities may burn themselves out, so just avoid them. Be a valued member of your group or community and leave the Rambo stuff to the stupid people.
A final note. I favor a12 gauge pump shotgun with a foldable stock. If there is going to be any fighting it is likely to be in close, where an AR isn't as effective. Just my two cents.
Our grandparents were made of different material literally and figuratively A level of perseverance only gained through hard times and self reliance Modern society is nearly devoid of that mettle If shit hits the fan the lessons of modern combat should be applied A#1 Fire superiority wins firefights Most well aimed rounds down range with either suppress the enemy or kill them And people are fuckin terrified of the sound of machine guns .02¢
All I am trying to say is that if it gets to the point we are in a firefight, we are in serious trouble and it is probably the worst possible outcome. The point is to avoid kinetic warfare.
If the above fails then drones dropping bombs on our enemies would be my preferred method. To shoot at someone I have to expose myself and I think I would prefer to hide in a bunker and kill my opponents from there. It is now a battle proven technique.
