on the contrary, I live in Northern Minnesota; you live in connecticut. You're fooling yourself if you don't think every household in this area of the world doesn't own a rifle. Speaking of "5 minutes without the social safety net", have you really thought about the implications of what would happen in your area of the world when shit hits the fan and 55 million people in your region are no longer able to feed themselves?
We're taught how to operate a rifle and gut a deer from the time we're 5. Have you even been fishing before?
