Just a theory here...a hypothetical...would Americans trade their guns for food?

Is the Congress quietly passing the Food Modernization and Safety Act, which would reward Agribusiness and squash the little guys? Whose cosponsor has a spouse employed or connected with Monsanto? Follow the money.

I just think food is a basic RIGHT (you can't pursee life and liberty without food...so should gov't stand in the way of folks acquiring food, even if they want to buy it from a small farmer?).

I'm just postulating that you can't eat ammo...

No you can’t eat ammo. You also cannot control the food supply when you are are dead.

Also, my 3 cats bring enough food in the form or rats, mice, birds, and asundry other small animals, that I wouldn’t starve.....I would just need an iron stomach....LOL!

Uh, no. You can shoot some food with a gun.

"I just think food is a basic RIGHT

It's a necessity, not a right.

But, if you don't do whatever is necessary to provide your own food, you don't have a right to eat mine.

In fact, I have a right to shoot you for trying to steal it.

And for the record, no, the government shouldn't be subsidizing, controlling food. But they do.
