One more reason to stay away from “smart guns”....

At that point the governors will have to take over, and, what will DC do then?

That sounds interesting, you should start a thread on that scenario.

Governors, we always think only in terms of the feds. If we did have a total collapse, the feds would be mostly busy protecting us from outside threats, and protecting and operating military bases and critical installations, moving and/or protecting troops and bases scattered around the world, and maintaining some naval operations foreign trouble spots like Korea and so on, and the governors and National Guard would be doing most of the internal.

The feds would be totally over stretched and facing logistic and transportation nightmares.

My thinking says the feral welfare class is going to come back to bite the liberal fascists. If you do the math, you start realizing the Feds are in a paradox and have few options. If it falls apart, plunging tax revenue means they have to choose between welfare and troops. It becomes automatic at that point - little or no welfare, large liberal cities like NY, Chicago, LA, Boston and Miami burn, troops shift there in disproportionate numbers, small states are on their own.

It will ultimately be up to those states to keep their own order. At some point I see governors banding together and telling DC to take a hike. I could even see an constitutional convention to break away and reform the country into a smaller version, minus the dead weight.

They contain batteries, batteries have corrosive material. If you have a
Microcenter near your city, that would be your best bet. Or just order from
a popular online computer store. Newegg, etc. I would not buy something of this
caliber from Amazon or Ebay. Trust me on that.

I’d be more worried about a container ship floating into San Francisco bay with a load of Cobalt 60 and high explosives.

There are some here who would not mourn the loss of San Francisco.

Russian Strategic Bombers On West Coast: Did They Take Down LAX Traffic Control Systems?

I think the idea in the linked article is quite plausible, if the timing was right.

I trust you - but just out of curiosity - why not Amazon?

I've never had good luck with high end electronics on Amazon.
If your paying for new that's what you should receive. I do shop Amazon though,
just not for anything electronic for computing. I use Newegg and Microcenter.
