    Maybe they’re coy about it, but the Amish I have met aren’t big into firearms. Once there’s a farm with food and no guns and roving bands of hungry men with guns and ammo situation, the farmers usually doesn’t do well in the ensuing relationship.

      So you’re saying people with guns would kill the people with the knowledge needed to have a hope of survival in a hypothetical apocalyptic catastrophe in a shortsighted display of greed and strength?

      That absolutely tracks.

        Yeah, that does track, and when they don’t kill them just to show off that they can, they’ll also be doing it out of desparation, fear of starvation, and fear that the Amish women might drive knitting needles through their hearts.
