those that don’t remember history are doomed to repeat it…. The last time civilization fell was the end of the roman empire what followed was hundeds of years of chaos where the strong took from the weak and did it using force. If you think that cannot happen again then I think you are fooling yourself, civilizations rise and fall throughout history, we as a country and a world are actively trying to take folks independence away and make them relevant on the government for their well being. All well and good until the fateful day that the government is not there to give you a handout.

Awwww come on….1,000,000 crimes are stopped in their tracks in one year in US because the public defend themselves against criminals with guns….200,000 rapes dont succeed because the women in question are armed..the general public kill twice as many criminals in one year than the cops because they are armed…what stopped the bad guy with the gun..good guys arriving with guns….outlaw guns and only the outlaws will have them..because they arnt about to obey the law…WAKE UP….in a perfect world there would be no guns…..a billion of them are out there….look what happened whe nthey were banned in Australia and the UK..gun crime INCREASED….you are missing the point entirely!!

It is a greatest paradox where the so called advanced nation USA still
doesnt bother to ban on owning weapons by individuals. When u have a big police force probably the highest in ratio to the population where is the
need for individuals to own guns for their personal safety. It reflects that
the majority of the population feel they are insecure. Or if guns are banned, then probably the crime rate will fall down drastically and in which case the citizens may not require such a big police force. Obama shud not bend to the dictates of arms industry instead he along with his senators shud strive to make the nation a peace loving nation and not crime loaded nation.

My personal thoughts are guns do not kill people, people kill people.
They never sent a gun to prison! When guns are outlawed, only outlaws
will have guns

There was no dishonesty. There was NO justifiable reason to even send the SWAT team to his home. Being a prepper is NOT against the law. He had no warrant out on him or anything. His felony was 10+ year prior. To do the search in the first place, they needed probable cause. What was the probable cause? He was a prepper. Because he admitted he was a prepper, they used that to search his home for guns that, admittedly, he wasn’t supposed to have.

The police cannot just search your home. We have rights in this country. They are supposed to have probable cause. Last time I checked, there is nothing illegal about prepping. So why the search? I didn’t know that the police can just send a swat team to search your home because over a decade ago you had a felony. Paying for your crime is not enough? He isn’t even on probation. There was no reason to search his home. But oh no, they heard prepper and he had a felony over a decade ago. 150 officers to do the search…the man is dangerous.

The ONLY reason they were even there was because he admitted he was a prepper. Had he not admitted he was a prepper, they would not have searched him. Why would they search his home? Do they send 150 officers to search every persons’ home who had a felony over a decade ago? Nope, they don’t.

Thank you very much, Jen – your kind words are very appreciated as is your input.

I had a similar experience using my stockpiles after a job loss several years ago – it was going to be 8-12 weeks before my first unemployment payment arrived and without my well-stocked pantry we would have had to seek assistance also. The pantry saw us through about 6 tight months until I found employment again. That was a lesson I’ll never forget and confirmed my commitment to preparedness!
