No he won’t . The population is much better armed than it was in the last depression .
Agreed. I am stocked, locked, loaded and saying “come and take it!”
Unfortunately, the government is much better armed also both in weapons and information. I think you had a much better chance to avoid government during the last depression. The only safety you will have in this depression is hiding behind a massive number of fellow citizens.
Keep in mind that the population is also much less well-behaved than it was in the last depression.
