Amd I do see where you are going with this. Could everyday essentials one day become unavailable? Yeah, but I doubt it'll be anytime in my youth. Not to sound ignorant, but I just dont see it happening. In the event it does, I dont imagine people choosing a side and going toe to toe, in that case most will just supply for themselves and loved ones. More of a everyman for himself, charity starts at home sorta deal. And in that event it wouldn't know what would come of it, thats because I dont give it much thought.
You won't sound ignorant until it actually happens. Don't get me wrong, I hope it doesn't happen. But anyone who pays attention to our current financial, economic and political situations, knows better. Those that DO think about it, prepare. A person's preparation is sure to include plenty of ammo, to protect themselves against the unprepared.
