That is a true statement for the most part. It's application, however, would be pretty limited. Like maybe WW2 Europe, where outside forces detroyed the infrastructure and consumed all the food, water, and fuel that was available. I have more guns than I will ever need, mainly because...well guns are cool There is a small chance that I will need 1 of them to defend my home someday. A slightly greater chance that I will need a weapon at a business I own in a questionalbe neighborhood. There have been a couple times I was happy to have a CCW on rides in deep/dark WV. Beyond that, I have trouble picturing a scenario where I would need more than a pistol and a mag or 2.
