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.
I'm a prepper at heart. When I get the opportunity I like to build a stock pile of food, tools, medicine etc. I also have a collection of books to teach me what I don't know in case of a collapse of civilisation. I am happy to live in a society with strict gun laws so that I don't have to worry about going out and buying a gun, or for that matter worry about getting randomly shot going about my daily business.
