"There's NO way that the US Gov't is going to commandeer food or water supplies from average citizens. It ain't happenin'. If they try it - they will get a face full of bullets. Seriously!"

Seems as though I recall hearing of rationing programs during WWII, whereby the US Govt commandeered a lot of food and other items to feed/supply the troops with, and the civilians got rations of things like fresh meat, vegetables etc. Now I realize this ain't the same as coming into your home and cleaning out your cupboards, but I suspect if the US govt wanted our food, they would more likely grab it long before we ever even see it. Likewise our water supplies. In fact, they'd probably have confiscated it long before we even knew it was gone.

Knowing that, it kinda reinforces the notion of hoarding food at home even moreso. I doubt the govt would want to bother with the hassle of home to home confiscation, not when they can be the first in line at the supermarket before the doors even open for the rest of us.
