No ones talking abjout murder apart from yourself. These people are talking about their right to bear arms - A right given to them by the American leaders and the Constituion before the criminal cartel began ripping it apart.
It's you who are suggesting murder and negativity...why?

To keep your kits and canned food in your possession of course.
Who's gonna take it?
You're telling me you'd rather treat another human being as a target rather than aid them with your supplies? Now I see the purpose of prepping. Murder fantasy.
Criminals and desperate people who I would have offered food to had they not tried to steal it.
You are trying to twist my words a little bit so I'll clarify for you.
Personally I feel that there isn't any amount of worth on any product or object on earth that is more valuable than a human life. With that said, if you take my food away then you take my means of feeding my family which is basically the same as walking in and shooting all of us. Food is not a product, it's life. Theft of things that don't keep you alive should be deterred but if it comes to shooting somebody then I say draw the line there and let them have whatever it is they came for. Let the maker sort them out.

And who is going to make the determination between ally or thief? You? Paranoid and armed, and probably starving... you're going to determine whether another human being deserves life? Again, murder fantasy.

So in a SHTF scenario, you're armed. That means you're protecting something, which makes you a target.

So when will this determination be made? When they stumble across "your property", or would they have to actually have penetrated your defenses? Must they also be armed? What if you kill the only doctor within 100 miles because he was desperate for food?

Ohhhhhhhhh, you just want to hold the gun, not fire it? OK. You can hold an unloaded gun.

Hm well some of them are rather strange from an european perspective to say the least. But nuts? no, not in my eyes.
But I'm curious: Doesn't the US Gov gives advice to have provisions, food and such things at home for at least 14 days?
Because the german goverment advices strongly to have food, water and a provisions stock for 30 days at all time at home to be prepared if a major disaster should strike. They even give out lists of things to have at home for this case. I wonder why it is so different here and in the US.

Well said 'detachedindividual', I agree.
From what I gathered alot of the preppers in America are basing their decisions on the fact that the monetary system may collapse, which is actually quite a plausible outcome and could potentially cause unbelievable anguish for those who were completely unprepared - physically and mentally.
For this reason, I think its ridiculous to name these people crazy or TERRORISTS?! Thats just MSM making these people bad in the publics eye so their reasons are overlooked on any logical scale. The preppers may be slightly more paranoid in nature, but there is definitely nothing silly, stupid or crazy about stocking up supplies and keeping a defense weapon (If I was an American and could legally bear arms then I probably would, just incase for the worst possible scenarios) and if # actually hits the fan in that manner they will have the last laugh.edit on 21-12-2012 by DazDaKing because: (no reason given)edit on 21-12-2012 by DazDaKing because: (no reason given)
What do preppers think about the ongoing insinuation that because you stock up on relatively modest amounts of food, supplies and in some cases weapons and ammo, in readiness for an unknown even that disrupts service as normal, that it somehow indicates you are unhinged, deranged or even potential terrorists in the making.
