No I wouldn't start a revolution. it'd just cause mass anarchy.  Me I am not sure what I'd do.  Hmm we could gather as much food as possible (gather up and store) and hide self..lol

Scary question lol but it was interesting (SDD's answer lol). ^^'

Answer 3

Well economies don't stop, but I understand what you mean.  I think there would be gangs of people guarding highways to wait for people fleeing or traveling to rob them of their resources so I wouldn't go anywhere (I mean you said apocalyptic so I'm thinking worst case scenario).  Revolutions are about bringing about change and if the government isn't doing it for us, well why don't we have the right to take control for ourselves? Regardless of what the 2nd amendment means to people, people always have the option to revolt if they think that's their best option (you don't need a constitution for that).  I don't see why that means anarchy though, it's probably modern media or something.  Did our revolution bring anarchy?  No and plenty haven't.  It's all about whether or not you are fighting for the right causes and have a big picture in mind of bringing about a newly restabilized government.  If you're just out there to fight for your own survival then anarchy might abound, but if you can organize yourself with others and form pacts and treaties then it would a ground-breaking insurgency which would change our history.  So it depends, I would try to stay safe in a lowly populated community but because I care about long run stability I would realize that something would have to be done eventually and if it takes a revolution then I would do it.
