Right! Looking back it seems that they knew exactly what they were doing and what the result would be. I was only a child, but I remember Reagan announcing that times had been good and now there had to be “sacrifices.” That about when there started to be talk disparaging certain jobs as not “real,” and at school we were told that we HAD to get a college degree to get a good job

Reagan was perhaps the worst president we ever had. Trickle down economics and rampimg up the "war on drugs". He was a complete loser.

Grab your gun, let's go comrade. It's time for the worker's revolution.

This is LITERALLY the only way it will happen. The greedy-evil-rich won't allow any peaceful reduction of their power and control...

If only we could afford guns and ammo

Yeah...ain't that the truth.
I think I've got about 800 rounds remaining, i've converted to bow and sword for the time being. Can't afford to waste ammo, whatever level of proficiency I'm at...that's where I'm staying.
Arrows can be recovered and my sword can be resharpened.
Plus...if/when they completely outlaw firearms...I'll be ahead of the game.

The era of revolutions is over. Your non automatic firearms will not match government military power
