This is how many of us here in the U.S. feel, we wish to keep America "The land of the free and home of the brave".
    I used to be amused when friends of mine stockpiled ammunition. I have always kept a small supply but these guys who bought thousands of rounds struck me as a little off the wall. After all, we live in a semi civilized society with laws and law enforcement.

    As I grew older and I hope wiser I realized that the thin veneer of civility could be wiped away by unforeseen circumstances and that it could come down to living or dieing based on who got there first with the most. Seems incredible but so did the Soviet Union self destructing and the near crash of the worldwide financial system. If it had gone down the way it could have anarchy might have become the rule rather than the exception.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
