Myth #1: The Government will confiscate military style
weapons and not bother traditional looking weapons such as lever action and
bolt action rifles.
Fact: In a crackdown, all weapons
will be confiscated, think of Hurricane Katrina or U.S. Military operations in
the Balkans and the Middle East. My guess is that a food for guns program will
be instituted during a martial law or WROL scenario.
Myth #2: Long range weapons (effective range over 500 yards)
are necessary to eliminate threats.
Fact: Close range threats are the
most dangerous. Target identification beyond 200 meters is difficult for
trained soldiers and is nearly impossible for civilians. It’s not a question of
hitting targets, it’s a question of detecting and identifying a hostile target
at long range.
Myth #3: Without Rule of Law (WROL) scenarios will be a “free
for all” where actions are not questions and without legal consequences later
on.
Fact: Rule of Law (ROL) evaporated
in the LA riots, Hurricane Katrina, the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan, various
places in Africa, etc. The reality is that ROL is reinstated and people will be
held accountable for their actions. This could mean a reconstituted legal
justice system, warlords or vigilante justice. While the zombie apocalypse is
entertaining, it’s probably not the scenario we will face.
