"it would only take three days for people in cities to start killing each other when the trucks quit bringing food to the supermarkets. Then you will have your answer to "Why does anyone need an AR-15?""

It would take three days before the shelves were empty, another three before cannibalism broke out.

And, no, you don't need an AR-15. Nobody does, aside from people who shoot up elementary schools.

With the breakdown in social order you describe, you only need one bullet.

Oh, and "libertarian" isn't a party, it's a diagnosis. There is something seriously wrong with those people.

My Morman friend might prefer defending his family and its survival stores to killing himself, leaving his lovely daughters to their fate while he doesn't have to watch.

Same. While I still have breath, my family will not be taken. This also means I take great care of myself in order to be capable.

Libertarian is far too diverse a 'group' from which to 'other' them as any one terrible thing. I am not LIbertarian, but it sounds nicer than 'Republican' or 'Democrat'. What then is a good group?

The HAVE been varieties of libertarianism but the only one with any prominence is the pathologically selfish variety.
