This has been a great story and I don't doubt that this is one of the possible outcomes - I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It would make a great TV mini-series or movie - but by the time that happened, it might be on the History Channel rather than the Sci-Fi channel. John

May I remind you of the position of Neo-Con NWO defender Daniel Pipes in 2001-2002 where he was openly advocating for the incarceration of Americans of Arab ethnicity for no other reason that wanting to imprison people after 9/11. What about FDR and Attorney General Biddle imprisoning Americans of Japanese descent after Pearl Harbor? What about the FEMA camps which are already set up? What about the decisions by multiple state governments to set-up and invoke "disaster and evacuation" plans during the H1N1 "pandemic" where the state governments advised people to ready to put their fellow citizens in these processing centers? This is no joke "obediah". @Obediah – You are being facetitious and joking right?

They are here to protect us an make sure w all have food, water, shelter and good health. Why would they ever limit how much food we could buy? If we start running short, Obama could always bring in more supplies from Europe or South America. Some people are so paranoid thay they create a bigger problem than it realy is!

Proud to see my home state be the location of the first shots fired in resistance, instead of mocked and ridiculed as usual. believe me, the shooting would start here. Our visits to Florida always start with a stocking-up trip to Publix; we love those stores! As a banker,nothing you have depicted in your characters behavior patterns has surprised me. Up until about a year ago all anyone wanted to know was "what are the payments?" Not now. When asked what to invest in now my answer is "canned goods and ammo". keep up the good work.

If possible, also get a bullet mold in your caliber(s) and hoard wheel weights or other lead-sources. I have several shooting-ranges and "sporting clay/skeet" facilities nearby which I will mine for lead if necessary. You KNOW that if they decide to ban ammo they'll also ban bullets, primers and powder - so GET EM WHILE YOU CAN!

We who like this stuff tend to associate only with people like us - so I'm sad to say I think we tend to overestimate the number who would resist. I'll be surprised if it's more than the 3% who fought in the first Revolution. Remember: nearly 50% of people already take out more than they pay in to taxes. A Majority of them are accustomed to using an EBT card (food-stamps) or a specific "ration" list ("WIC") so this will be no big change for them. My advice? For now DO NOT BREAK ANY LAWS but DO buy firearms through "face-to-face" sales wherever such sales are legal and cache them with as much ammo as possible someplace away from your home but accessible, where it's unlikely The Enemy would search for them. A simple Bing or (hack-spit) Google search should yield plenty of info on the best ways to cache. I have ZERO doubt that this - or something much like it is coming - and sooner rather than later. God help us, and God Save Our Republic!! JG, Please let me join the chorus saying “Family FIRST” though I also thank you for the read..
