Control the food you control the people.
Just my .02, I live in Alaska and its prohibitively expensive for a lot of people to buy all their food, we call it subsistence, me I do live where food is affordable, but when fuel gets too expensive and then because most foods are shipped up here the prices will go up I will do more fishing, I will do more hunting, we have more than enough “free range” moose up here.
There are many fishing villages that survive through the winter solely on fishing.
Whatever law Obama tries to start in order START riots Alaska will ignore them. They can hire more Federal Revenuers, but the people will join together to work around them.

There is the problem. The time has come to stop “ignoring” and “working around” ... We are at a crossroads. We had better learn fast that the best way to overcome this obstacle is not by ignoring it, or working around it; but rather to bulldoze our path right through and over it... to crush it and break it into a thousand pieces, much the same way as went Humpty Dumpty. We must make certain that these tyrants will never be able to put their edifice back together again.
People won't starve, and when laws become ridiculous, people ignore them. The govt can't ever allow this to occur or it gets out of hand and everybody realizes the king has no clothes; which is what will happen; sooner the better.
They had all kinds of problems up here many years back with the fed park people. One guy had to be escorted out of the community under state police protection, death threats. Since then all the park rangers have been quite decent; work with the locals, create jobs in a bush community lacking economic activity. Actually they bend the rules to get along with the locals and they fight with their bosses in fairbanks in support of the locals. But rest assured if violence occurs, heads role within the park service, not in the local community.
The feds wanted to build a big park visitors center in our community, the locals went nuts and they couldn't process the grant without local positive input and support; big plans went nowheres. So I was at a game dinner a few weeks back out Indian Village. Park guy preached how he wanted to work with locals, and only do what they wished, ha ha. Then started talking about future plans that would benefit community. He's not going to get anywheres, no more than 2 years back. Different park guy, same agenda.
But I will say, these park people are honestly pretty decent guys. They don't want a big blow up and they never go after any of the law breakers that populate rural Alaska. They really want to get along; it's their bosses in Fairbanks who try to push their will and so far not really getting anywheres.
People will ignore any fed regs nx summer and in Alaska fed law has been ignored for so long; it will be tough for them to try and have their way with any of the locals. no joke. All kinds of freedom out here along the Yukon.
