Gun Ownership As A Solution

In a March 16 Ammoland post, David Codrea imagined the food supply dwindling during this pandemic before telling his readers the government is “utterly incapable of protecting them.” Articles in Breitbart and The Truth About Guns made similar points, saying that Americans realize “their safety, and their family’s safety, is in their own hands” and that “those vying to run the government vow to take that ability away,” all in a thinly veiled effort to encourage gun purchases.
Hey, why don’t you cite these pages, Cydney? The encouragement to buy guns isn’t thinly veiled (actually, it isn’t either at DC’s place, so the prose makes no sense).
In other news, there are meat logistics problems.
A Tyson-owned meat processing plant that churns out 2% of the US pork supply ground to a halt this week as workers became infected with Covid-19.
And that wasn’t the only meatpacking plant impacted by the spread of the novel coronavirus. JBS USA on March 31 said it hit pause on much of its work at a beef facility in Souderton, Pennsylvania and wouldn’t have it back online until mid-April. National Beef Packing on April 2 temporarily stopped slaughtering cattle at one of its plants in Tama, Iowa after a worker tested positive for the virus.
Plant closures are emblematic of a larger issue across the US food system, as farms and companies work to weather the storm of Covid-19. The health and safety of workers is paramount if food chains are to continue running smoothly—and workers’ perceived safety appears to vary across the industry.
In Greeley, Colorado, at least 830 JBS employees didn’t show up for work on March 30 after several employees tested positive for the virus.
Vegetables and grains are also problematic coming up soon, especially with flooding in the midwest.
Hey Cydney! If looters start breaking into your home because they’re starving, you gonna give them your grub? What if they want more than your grub? How are you going to defend yourself? The cops are 15 minutes away.

Yeah, you’ll be lucky (er, maybe not) to get the cops there in that situation. You’re on your own. Better be prepared to hand out some justice of your own.
