Why Are So Many Americans Stockpiling Guns, Silver And Food Right Now?
Economic Collapse Blog ^ | 2/3/21 | Michael Snyder

We were told that 2021 would be the year when everything starts to get back to normal. But that hasn’t exactly been the case, has it? It has been just over a month, and there is still chaos everywhere. We have seen a wild riot at the U.S. Capitol, civil unrest has been erupting in major cities from coast to coast, millions of people have filed for unemployment benefits, a president was impeached, and a crazy ride on Wall Street made “GameStop” a national phenomenon. That would normally be enough for an entire year, but we are still in the first week of February.

All throughout history there have been critical turning points when events have greatly accelerated, and it appears that we have reached one of those turning points.

In fact, this may be turn out to be the biggest turning point of them all.

Millions upon millions of Americans can sense that big trouble is ahead. For many, it is like a “gut feeling” that they just can’t shake.

Just a few days ago, my wife met a woman from the west coast that just moved here. This woman and her husband were desperate to leave California, and they felt very strongly that they should move somewhere safe.

What makes her story remarkable is the fact that my wife and I have heard similar stories from others countless times over the past 12 months.

Our nation is being shaken in thousands of different ways, and so many of us can feel that things are building up to some sort of a grand crescendo.

So that is why so many Americans are stockpiling guns, silver and food right now.

Because they don’t trust the District of Commies?

Because people got to burn cities down last summer and everyone saw that no one was stopping it. The message is clear. There is no law, there are only political crimes for those who are the wrong side of powerful people.

The message to people is, you are political dissidents in your own homeland.

This is one of those rare occasions, where to even ask the question, is also to answer it.

“For many, it is like a “gut feeling” that they just can’t shake.”

A “gut feeling”? LOL LOL LOL!

No, it’s unavoidable displays of leftist propaganda, gaslighting, censorship, race-baiting, shaming, vote fraud and treason.

I don’t get the silver part. It’s worthless if the SHTF. It’ll be all about bartering. Cigarettes, liquor, beer are good things to have handy.

I survey the isles at the local Walmart when I do have to make a trip. I have noted for the past several months that many items are either very short or out of stock. I sorta giggle at the thought because I have always had a stock just in case of all the staples. It took a few years with my wife to convince her until the Iraq deployment. When I got home the cupboard was bare and we had a major winter storm where we were bound for a week. Now I am not so crazy. Yes ammo, firearms, precious metals and normal everyday commodities are getting harder to find but if one had planned it would not be an issue. I’d bet gardening and canning will be a priority this summer. We are on the brink as a nation. History is a great teacher of the future.

Agree—and you want to be ready for shortages of _anything_—so if it is non-perishable and you use it, get lots of it.

We could be looking at something like:

(1) Inflation
(2) Price controls, then
(3) Shortages

Michael Douglas in the 1993 movie “Falling Down”, with Robert Duvall. Regular working guy gets mistreated by thugs and society in general, has enough, responds. Catch it.

Anyone who doesn't see the defecation about to hit the high speed rotary oscillator is as deaf, dumb and blind as Helen Keller.

If you have to ask "do I have enough ammo?" the answer is NO, YOU DO NOT!

I live inn a mostly Conservative hamlet but if that ANTIFA crap comes to my town...specifically near my house...I’ll treat them with all the compassion they deserve. And it won’t be polite or painless.
