While guns are the great equalizer, his violent instincts are so sharp, an armed grandma would have a hard time contending. He knows that and would be likely to choose his targets carefully.

After grandma and little granddaughter triangle in on him, all his guns will belong to them.

“After grandma and little granddaughter triangle in on him, all his guns will belong to them.”

(I ended up reusing a response posted to another Freeper almost in it’s entirety because it applies.)

This is an idiotic response. You are missing the point. He has sharp killer instincts. He’s fast and tough. Oh, and - btw - he’s likely to have teamed up with someone to triangle on grandma and the granddaughter.

You see, it’s not about this one guy. It’s a conceptual argument. I keep seeing posts like, “Oh, let’s these guys show up and try to take MY food. I’ll put a cap in their arse!” What people don’t seem to get is that SOME of these folks who are relying on their guns (instead of supplies) are simply more fit, better trained, and have a better instinct about killing.

Consider this: what if it was a Navy Seal? Or a trained Marine sniper? Who do you think wins that firefight the vast majority of times?

That’s my point. I’d pit 100 of the guy I know in CT versus 100 internet message board prepper braggarts and I know what the outcome would be.

Read the article again. It was talking about people who are well-trained in the use of firearms and combat arts. THAT’S THE POINT. If you think you DON’T have an obligation to be BETTER than them to survive, you’re wrong.

Just like the idiot in NH who thinks her tight, trustworthy community will somehow see her through, there are far too many preppers who think “I own a gun, I’m all set.” When the sh!t hits the fan, if you aren’t better prepared, better trained, and in better physical shape than all the other yahoos who own a gun, you’re likely to be toast, too. Especially if you live in a densely populated area.
