A casual glance at recorded history shows that things change. Empires rise and fall. Pharoahs, men who would be gods, are long dead, just moldy bones wrapped in paper, we barely know anything about them. You could be the most famous person on Earth, now, and in a hundred, or two hundred years, be a single line on a wiki page no one visits.
The US will fall, eventually. Of course. Who knows what will be the real cause?
Now that I'm living at the BOL, I honestly have a lot fewer worries. There's tons of stuff here. Lots of empty land around. Lots of parks rivers, and lakes. Politics is less important, really, a lot of things seem less important.
Family and friends, hunting, making things, doing things, they kind of take over.
If a true socialist government came to power, and we had to turn in all the registered guns, it would be a fraction. I'd be fine with it.
And honestly, they aren't going to outlaw guns, or hunting, or fishing, or gardening or farming any texts soon.
I saw a complete AR in .300 blackout, a 7.5 inch pistol mind you, for 500 bucks. That's nothing. And maybe prices go up, or down, but that gun isn't going away, I don't see the political will for it. Not anytime soon.
I'm watching a ton of ancient hidden history shows on YouTube. It's more fun than worrying. I'll cross whatever bridge I come to, when I come to it.
