Donald Trump wants to arm teachers with guns

[henryp]

Societal collapse, which has never happened, WE NEED TO STOCKPILE WEAPONS!

In regards to societal collapse, I mean, it's coming right?  Assuming you're not a climate change denier, we're talking decades before things are predicted to take a really bad turn for the worse.  That's assuming something doesn't come along before it.  When things do go south, you're going to want guns.

People keep posting the doomsday clock on this site, and flipping out because Trump is going to get us all killed.  Is that reaction just an act? 

There's a hilarious mix em up in the people who are preparing for doomsday who don't believe in climate change and think Trump is great, and the people who think climate change is going to break the world, and Trump is Hitler, who don't think anyone needs guns. 

They're all fucking stupid is my general opinion.

That being said, I think stockpiling weapons in the event of some level of societal collapse is practical.  I'm not doing it, but that's just me gambling that it won't happen.  I don't think the risk of situations where you'd absolutely want to be very well-armed is that small anymore.

Really? Explain that situation to me. Does the government turn on you and you have to defend yourself? The government which possesses the most dangerous military in the world with nuclear arsenal, warships, submarines, fighter jets vs you with your glock. Or does Russia decide to attack US? All the Russians are affected with dementia and forget about the US nuclear arsenal, the UN and decides to attack US, say you stockpile 500 or 5000 semi automatic weapons, you with your gang of people with these guns plan a attack? Hellooo?? They use satellite to find your exact position and air strike you and your buddies with a plane that travels at the speed of sound. Boom. Game over. Tudu tudutu tudu tu du.

I'm thinking more along the lines of climate change causes severe food shortages, and people start killing each other over necessities.  Or something happens to the electrical grid, and we return to the 1800's, except none of us have any survival skills.  Nuclear war decimating the world and things devolving into some sort of warlord/militia scenario ruling over small areas.  It's all a house of cards.  

Again, I don't think it's so likely that I'm running out to get a bunch of guns.  But I recognize that I'm sticking my head in the sand a bit by not being prepared.
