I like to tease anti-gun rich people all the time. They ask me why I need an AR15 and I tell them, "So I can come get your stuff when my welfare payment bounces." Most of 'em don't laugh. Wonder why?


(I'm kidding. I don't tell them that. Would love too, though).
An economic collapse is also a major eventuality and could be brought about from various factors; collapse of the petrol dollar/peak oil, aftermath of a world wide calamity (super volcano/pole shift/asteroid impact/ or any other ELE for that matter), man-made manufactured crisis see the crash of 1929, et al.

We only have a little over 6K years of recorded history with lots of blanks in between, history tells us that when a large number of people compete for a limited number of resources things get sporting. We're now at almost 8 billion mouths to feed on this planet, over population is a thing.
