    I think you misunderstood me. What I was saying is that we will go shoot each other before the hunger deaths set in. As in, we won’t last long enough to die of hunger.

      Hum, you won’t do that either. The people that will have the food will also have all the guns, and they are not eager to go shooting each other.
