"Buy lots of ammo, too." What kind? Whatever goes into the firearm you own, of course. I don't think ready.gov has any advice that would help us know how much ammo to buy. We can try to prepare, but beyond what we can infer from their suggestion that you "Keep at least a three-day supply of water per person," I don't know.
There is a chance that civil unrest might occur before local authorities can take charge. Most community safety training experts stress that fact. I would want to be able to defend my own home (and neighbors) for several days under those circumstances.
The question is worth raising rhetorically: what are we as individually armed citizens? Aren't we in effect deterrents against such unrest? By remaining armed as a community, we promote stability. Perhaps because we are armed, there will be no such trouble. That is my hope. I have no desire to fulfill these duties to their most grim extent. But I believe we should all be prepared. If worse comes to worst, our families and neighbors will appreciate the fact that we planned ahead.
This is what the second amendment is all about!
Wow. As much time as I've spent reading the Bang List, I should have picked up on that before now.

Concur. Human life is sacred. So sacred that it requires protection from those seeking to willfully destroy it.
