1. Alice was making lists of preppers that did not have guns too.

2. “Survivalists” don’t group well together anyway.
   It’s the independent thinking part that gets in the way.

3. Politicians & Lawyers
   Warmist Watermelons
   Hate Speech Commissars
   Educators
   EPA
   TSA

   if you have guns, you can get anything else you might need…
   as torontonians will surely discover when they experience the
   inevitable breakdown of social controls in the nearby dystopian
   future.
   winter is coming.

5. Always remember to have enough Ketchup packed away!
   Gun, ammo, clean water and Ketchup!

6. Unless the stuff you need is in the possession of people who have guns.
   If you have enough guns and ammo and the skills and will to use them, you may be able to keep what you have. To get what you don’t have you’ll have to trade some of your stuff or skills or information. Know how to grow and gather food and how to make tools – the things bureaucrats and academics don’t know.

7. If Dilbert had said “To build appliances?”, Alice would have
   been head over heels in lust. After all is said and and done,
   what is more of an appliance than a good quality mortar?

8. Heh
   Alice must know something about how the socialists, communists and national socialists operate.
   The first government of Czechoslovakia after WWII run by communists was killed off by their fellow travelers.

9. Exactly. One could project that same scenario onto many upheavals in history. The revolution in France comes to mind. The most vicious float to the top.

10. it’s going to be worse than anyone can imagine.
    we are in a time of a looming ‘perfect storm’. it’s all well and good to be armed to the teeth to protect what you have, but what do you do for instance about the swarms of cockroaches or beetles that gobble up you carefully cultivated and stored foodstuffs? what, you aim so that you take out 2 of then with each round instead of one?
    men will beat each other unconscious for a stale sandwich. it will be a terrible time like none other, and yes, looking at how past revolutions unfold esp the French are instructive. just ask Monsieur Guillotine or Monsieur Robespierre about that.

11. The scariest part is how simple it will be to take out western civilization. No atom bombs, invasions, weapons req’d. Just take out the electrical grid which is permanently in a state of collapse anyway. The population does not realize how dependent EVERYTHING is on electricity. No water. No heat. No food. No fuel. Houses become useless very rapidly unless you want to die of thirst. Find water. Lakes, rivers, streams and discover thousands & thousands realizing the same thing. Hard to store or protect water. Then food. Mass exodus of cities like a locust swarm spreading outward devouring everything in its path. Make it through that then you can worry about shelter, growing food which will take months, and defending your little piece of heaven on earth. Canadian winter will kill off 90% of that. Makes you wonder how Little House On The Prairie did it.
