Steve, what would rioting liberals want with my farm? The only thing that has value in case of a societal breakdown. And no it isnt gold, its food.
I also don't fear the US army, I figure in most cases they would be on my side. I do think my weapons make the expropriation wackadoos like your pals at PSL or those people murdering white farmers in South Africa ( just one worlwide example) think twice. And I refuse to be a pathetic sheep, entrusting the safety of my life and property to the government, when all around and throughout history there is example after example of how tragically foolish that can be.
And yes I do believe some of the overreach of the previous administration was kept in check by the fact that the people are armed.
