The Economic Collapse blog reports that Robert Kiyosaki is warning of an impending economic collapse—and advises on preparations that include buying guns.
By way of credentials, Kiyosaki is the author of the successful “Rich Dad Poor Dad” books, reportedly having sold over 26 million copies, and runs the Rich Dad financial education website. He co-authored “Why We Want You to be Rich” with Donald Trump.
The Economic Collapse lists 11 “sound bites” from a Kiyosaki video (see sidebar media player) that include predictions of collapse where supermarket food supplies are reduced to less than three days—presumably with no restocking in sight. Of special relevance to readers of this column:
#5"buy a gun"
#8"so come to my house and I'm armed and dangerous and I'll welcome you"
#9"we have food, we have water, we have guns, gold and silver, and cash"
The significance here is not that a probability exists for terrible societal consequences from destructive financial policies—it’s that it is now being normalized by prominent voices, and more Americans are losing confidence in the system. Which means the message will reach beyond sites like The Economic Collapse, or one of my favorite regular stops, Western Rifle Shooters Association, where they routinely call our attention to other voices like The Market Ticker, which provides detailed analysis and explanations to back up the dire commentary.
The Los Angeles riots and Hurricane Katrina, where territory was ceded by civil authority for days, were mere localized disconnects where the majority of Americans could watch things unfold on TV and make conversation about how bad things looked for "those" poor people. When these Americans no longer have TV because they have no electricity—and all that that implies—we will indeed be living in interesting times.

Cool. I’d like to see it.
Can you buy a new gun without registering it with the gun-grabbers?
Try a PSL. Nearly the range, ammo is cheaper and the rifle can be had for around $700 with scope. I like harder hitting rifles with more range, but I have two Goloni Galils for .223.
I’m converting some MG13 mags for the Yugo M76 so I can have some 25 rounders for it.
Thank you. Those are some favorites...
“ammo is cheaper”
True that, though my local range has just started banning steel core ammo., which is the cheap stuff. Still yugo non -mag out there.
What state are you in?
Buy private, no papers, legal in most states.
Thanks. Is it typical for private sellers to sell new guns? Where do you find them? At gun shows?
Kiyosaki is a moron and financial illiterate whose only skill/talent is self-promotion. Efforts to find any wealth he might have in excess of what he’s earned selling books have been fruitless.
Antique weapons (pre-1898) are also exempt from paperwork.
Many fine bolt action rifles and revolvers in that category.
ps. many sellers require a drivers lisence to make sure you are of age and for any problems, like felonies, etc.
Have you ever tried Militec-1. It should help.
Militec-1
Never heard of it. Should I eat , shoot it...?

Don't feel like you are being interrogated if he asks if you are a resident of the state where the sale is taking place, or if you are a deranged criminal, out on bail. He's just covering a couple of bases (staying ahead of the Bloomberg loonies), and I'm OK with that.
Some private sellers have new guns. See gun shows, classified ads, or buddies. Much of what’s not new is near enough. I have 3 rifles I’ve never fired (2 arsenal refinished), and sold a brand new G19 to a co-worker for cash, no papers, all legal. Suppressed machine-guns are advertised about a mile from here, NFA & yellow form paperwork only. Living in a free state is nice.
You sometimes find new guns from private sales, but mostly not. Most people take good care of firearms so lightly used are fairly common. Gun shows, watch for guys walking around or coming in with firearms. Check the local news paper classifieds and add rags. Non-Craigslist online classifieds are also out there. For the most part Egay and Craigs are useless for firearms.
LOL. It should almost be required. I took my 91/30 to the range Saturday. When I fired the first shot, I quickly realized I had left the recoil pad in another gun bag at home. Only fired 30 rounds, but my shoulder looks like a giant purple plum!
Ha! hold it tighter. Be very wary of the carbines (m44, m38, m91/59) They kick good! (I read that the russkie rifles were made to be fired with the peasants padded clothing, coats, etc. so no need for recoil pads)
