Add bottled water to that bag.
The fact that this is getting play in the MSM is chilling. They usually go with stories when they’re already stale, so if they’re making this recommendation now, you should’ve started 3-6 months ago.
It would be FOOLISH to ignore firearms, as one of many key survival tools. Too bad for those residing in New Jack City, however.
I'm with Gabby Johnson -- "I wash born here, an I wash raished here, and dad gum it, I am gonna die here, an no sidewindin' bushwackin', hornswagglin' cracker croaker is gonna rouin me bishen cutter."

Meanwhile all Ryan, Boehner, McConnell, Peter King, Karl Rove and the rest of them can do is is criticize the Tea Party, Ted Cruz and the Pope.
That is what I have been predicting, that down the road there will be a revolt.
We should be hun ting down those responsible for getting us in this mess.
A little late, ammo is available but expensive and hard to find in bulk. Primers are available but limited and about 50% more expensive than 18 months ago. Bullets are on back order and pistol powder has just vanished from the market.
Also, why does the Washington Examiner (the actual source) writer act as if this financial guy is actually so worried about a collapse he is recommending ammo and guns when he ACTUALLY is only commenting on the bad financial advice of these end of the world videos that sucker people out of money?
His quote: "In this eight part series I am not making light of the concerns of survivalists. But I would like to review eight very specific recommendations from a recent video, all of which are representative of the financial scam techniques which often accompany such advice. Here their first piece of poor financial advice along with my comments:"
You then have to subscribe to get the comments (a scam in itself).
A scam about how others scam peoples fear- brilliant!
I have some very important comments on this guys comments about others comments...just send me $5 and I will share them.
“Firearms are the last item on the list...”
Wrongo, Jack.
It is. I am. And I ain’t going anywhere. Bug out? I’m buggin’ in. Big time.
What all need to prepare for is stock & bond market collapse.
When full effect of Obamacare materializes, the middle class will be further squeezed. That will require more borrowing on credit on top of already record high personal debts. Rich are never affected. Poor may get more health services if doctors & hospitals are willing to work for a loss. Best ammo is good ole cash. Best time to buy when blood runs in to the streets as they say
Actually, we need to take our guns to DC.
And to the media.
Preppers’ PING!!
It's coming. Be ready.
He's making a list, checking it twice, see who has been naughty and nice, Baraq o Claus is comin' to town.
5.56mm
We live in the country surrounded by neighbors who are armed to the teeth. We are bugging in. Lately I have been lusting after a Stag Arms Model 7 in 6.8 SPC in order to give me more range than 5.56mm.
You're much better off keeping out of sight and shooting bugger-outers snooping around your domicile on-sight.
Is this the same man who told us the EU and US economies would collapse prior to this past Thanksgiving? I know there are associated authors at World Daily Net and infowars that bring this collapse theory to their front page blogs every few months. Don’t take me as a skeptic on the warnings, the signs are there but pretty soon these guys will be ignored when the wolf actually shows up.
How many people have thought of primitive tools & gear for their preps?
Your 401K or IRA will soon be seized by the government
If our government could jam through (in less than a week) legislation that robs from the pensions of disabled military retirees - then I am positive that seizure of your 401K is entirely plausible.
Disabled military retirees not exempt from pension cuts in budget deal
Believe it.
