Are Guns and Ammo the New Gold and Silver?

A shot is a shot.

Apparently "Great" Britain is working on removing access to real knives.

LOL!! You cannot have too much TP. The barter value will be better than gold.

The neighbor woman was sitting on a gold mine. Men will trade gold, silver, and ammo for that, unless she looks like an aged reporter for a major news network.

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

I suppose. If he’s willing to threaten murder.

And if he’s too stupid to realize that there ain’t no one out there with a good stock of gold and water who doesn’t have a gun and the will to use it against looters.

Which is why every little police department in east Podunk is being armed to the teeth with automatic weapons, body armour and even armored personnel carriers and such...it will all be used against the american people, not the islamic terrorists ==================================== Buy XM855 american eagle 5.56x45 and pull the bullets They are steel core. Sabot them in a .30cal magnum at 4500 to 5000 fps It will punch through 3/4 steel plate at close range I dont think they make body armer that would slow it down much.

I’m working on that. Also crossbows. Arrows are reusable, and the action can’t be heard 2 miles away.

Actually, level 5 would stop it, but what the hey, .....go for head shots or those below the level of the armor plate. A 10" x 12" plate doesn't really cover that much body area, and a femoral shot will permanently take out an attacker real quick.

you can ALWAYS turn guns into money, but you can't always turn money into guns...

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.

Fair enough, but think of what a cunning tyrant could make of the flipside. "Our citizens vote; our citizens own guns. Therefore the United States is a free land!"

Think of it this way: no tyrant wants to be known as such. Moreover, any tyrant with common sense knows that there has to be compensatory "freedoms" allowed - provided they don't threaten the regime. In some societies, it's been licentiousness. In others, it's been religious freedoms.

Who's to say it can't be the gun and the vote this time 'round? The Communists gave us all an object lesson on sham democracy. After those regimes, we know that the mere existence of a ballot box isn't enough to establish democracy.

Could the progress of weapons technology and instruments of duress (i.e., Predator drones) make the Second Amendment merely theoretical with respect to resisting tyranny, just as the one-party state made democracy a sham? That's the question that needs answering.

Tyranny always grows in the blind spots.
