Cor-Bon DPX is almost as difficult to find as Silver Eagles. And just about as expensive.

It is much more likely that the government will outlaw guns and ammo rather than gold.

In a SHTF situation, the government will clamp down severely using powers of the Patriot Act, FEMA, the National Guard, and executive orders from the President.

We are only 1 vote, 1 Supreme Court Justice appointment, away on the Supreme Court to have it ruled that American citizens do not have any individual right to bear arms.

Whoever is elected President in 2012 will appoint at least 2 judges, and will thus ultimately decide if Americans are allowed to possess guns.

Don’t forget that lead and gold have entirely different delivery mechanisms.

And, the guy with the lead can take as much gold, canned goods, water, etc from those that don't have lead.

I reloaded 5,000 rnds of 5.56 and 3,000rnds of 9mm over the summer.

That’s on top of 8,000 rnds and 2,000 rnds of factory ammo.

I think I’m relatively set ;)

I don't mean to fault you for your out-of-box thinking - more of which we need - but that scenario's becoming more unlikely over time. You know why? With the increasing militarization of the police, guns become (relatively speaking) less and less of a threat to them. As long as the constabulary is much better armed than the armed citizen, the armed citizen won't be much of a threat to the constabulary.

Also, in combination with the above point, it's good PR to let people keep their guns. Better that the average armed citizen has no obvious cause to get "unruly."

Old rule of thumb: a good handgun is always worth an ounce of gold.

Huh?

History throughout the world shows that as governments become more powerful, bigger, more controlling, as they become more tyrannical, the governments more and more restrict or take away the guns of the citizens.

Another factor is the overpopulating of the country. As populations increase the governments exert more control and there becomes less and less personal individual liberties. The US is the fastest growing country in the world, mainly due to immigration, and the high birth rates of latinos, blacks, and new immigrants. There will be 400 million people in the US by 2050 and over a billion by the end of the century.

I dont see any way at all that guns will be legal for citizens to own or possess in a United States which has a population of a billion people.
