I agree with you. However, I would point out that the conservatives are more likely to live, with rural folks having much LOWER mortality rates than the Urbanites. Thus, many of the 100million gun owners would be more likely to survive than the non gun owners. That’s my take.
Still, I personally believe that we’ll be hit by an EMP event, natural, or man made, as the Bible alludes to no lights shining, no music, no dancing, no millstones grinding, etc. Furthermore, I’m confident that the U.S. will be broken up at some point (at least from it’s present form), simply because we’re already regionalizing, and I have other reasons. I think in the grand History of the World, the U.S. has accomplished some very great things, but her chapter may be coming to a close. All empires end (at some point), but there won’t be an end to freedom. I believe that we will be invaded, probably by Mexico on the South, and China on the West, and who kknows on the East. I think Mexico will reclaim territory, China may get some ports, but not much farther, and (perhaps domestic) will attack from the East, but we’ll pull through ok, people should probably start getting out of the big cities, and especially the Lib high concentration coasts, especially. International Trade may become a moot point in any event. Who knows, but I believe it could be the scenario.
I live in Minnesota; guess I'm safe from anything but beavers...
Cheers!
