1. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded.
2. Never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot.
3. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
4. Keep your weapon on safe until you intend to fire.

5. Know your target and what is beyond it.

Four weapons safety rules (and an extra for good measure). This is the bare minumum general knowledge needed before handling a firearm.

and ammo, and about two to three weeks worth of fresh water and food if you possibly can. (and a lot of garbage bags in case you can’t poop in your toilet and don’t have a dirt yard.)

If we need more than that we’re beyond fucked, but the track forward may get bumpy and there may be civil disruptions as various states, agencies and companies actually start preparing for an authoritarian takeover on US soil, it would likely come with something akin to martial-law, which people will resist and there would be large-scale violence that could disrupt power grids, water and sewage, and of course logistics routes.

It wouldn’t last forever, we’re nowhere capable of an actual civil war on US soil unless like, half the armed-forces don’t follow the leader, but by then it’s very likely the admin will have replaced every general and military leader as they’ve been trying to do. But it could get very bad for a lot of people.

Pray we’re not about to see history unfold, pray the “nothing ever happens” dipshits score a win on this one.
