I realized recently that at some point as the Rugged Individualists have become more shrill, that many of them have crossed the line from Libertarian into Anarchist and I don't think they know they have.

What's funny-sad is that I'm pretty sure they (used to) hate anarchists, and now they've become Them.

Guns instead of supplies is a very anarchist mentality. Guns make sense (at least in a self-consistent way) when you have something worth taking. If you have the guns but nothing to take, then you have a very different plan for an actual emergency. Whether you acknowledge it or not is a different story.

If you have guns and nothing to take you have a commodity that is very valuable among the people who have things to take but no guns.
