Scattershot, my point was that a gun in response to an economic recession is no more useful than ballet equipment (unless you are going to be shooting game to feed your starving family).

While I do not get fascination with the g/ng thing, what I do get is statistics, and they say you are 6-times more likely to die in a house with a gun in it.

By your attitude and response, my guess is it would be more like 66-times for you, especially with the ricochet action in your bunker.

and just how are guns a fungible investment?

I think aj-- and the six people who reco'ed his post "get it" quite well. Not everyone reacts to this crisis by stocking up on bullets and barricading themselves behind their doors. Thank God.
