The Fallacy of Bugging Out – Are You Prepared to Be a Refugee?

I'm not so sure those gangs will have the upper hand. It will be them against everyone else who are most likely armed. I think it will come down to numbers and if neighbors get together within neighborhoods then the armed majority numbers rule.

i'm very sure they would have a very big upper hand. after all they are living on the fringes now, and have lots of ambush practice. there was a thing 15 years or so gangs were having members join the service to learn combat skills. of course the army and Corps deny it. some say it was a way for them to get out. either way, when shit gets deep, people are gonna fall back on what they know. plus i'm sure there are still some that do it today.

In 2008, according to FBI gang investigator Jennifer Simon, 1 to 2% of the U.S. military belonged to gangs, which is 50 to 100 times the rate in the general population.[1] According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment, the NGIC identified members of more than 53 gangs who served in the military.[2] U.S. gangs have sometimes encouraged their members to join the military in order to learn warfare techniques.[3]

The FBI’s 2007 report on gang membership in the military stated that the military's recruit screening process is ineffective, and allows gang members/extremists to enter the military. The report listed at least eight instances in the previous three years in which gang members obtained military weapons for their own

very few soccer moms, dads know the operating end of a firearm, and are scared of them. all you have to do is look at the people that push for gun control who aren't part of the government or ngo's calling for it.

sure there are some regular folks that can fend them off, but the shitbirds of the world aren't going to target those kinda folks until all the easy pickins / sheeple are gone.  which i dare say is well over 2/3rds of the country.  they don't have the don't give a shit attitude about another human life.
