I took my late husband's deer rifle to Vern's shop to have it cleaned, and the man who has fixed guns for 32 years told me the government is not coming for that rifle first. It is coming for my pantry. I live outside Waxahachie, Texas. I am 61. Wade passed two years ago and his rifles have sat in the closet since. My son Mark wants them, so I took the deer rifle to Vern, who has run the gun shop on the highway for as long as I have lived here. Vern is 64. Thirty two years as a gunsmith and a dealer. He can tell you what a rifle is worth by lifting it. He laid Wade's rifle on the bench, looked down the bore, and said the line I have not stopped repeating. "There is a reason the government is so eager to disarm the American people." I said I know, Vern, that is why Mark wants them in his house. "No, listen to the whole thing," he said. "A man with a rifle and a full pantry does not need anybody. He can protect his family and he can feed it. A man with neither does exactly what he is told." "They start with the rifle because it makes the news. But the rifle is not what they need from you. They need you hungry." "And the paper for that is already signed." He wiped his hands and pulled a folder out from under the counter. Vern keeps a folder. "In 2012 the White House signed an order called National Defense Resources Preparedness. FEMA and the Agriculture Department carry it out." "It defines food resources as everything you can eat, at every stage from the field to the can. The word seed is written right into the definition." "It says the rules are to be used under both emergency and non-emergency conditions. That is the exact wording." "It was amended this March. It is live." "Under it and a federal law from 1950, no person may hold more than the reasonable demands of home consumption of anything the President calls scarce. In 2020 they used that law on a man's masks on Long Island. In 1933 it was gold, hand it in within 26 days. In 2005 in New Orleans it was guns, taken off boats." "And here is the one that made me start this folder." "After Katrina, Louisiana rewrote its emergency law. The governor may, and I am reading it, commandeer or utilize any private property if he finds this necessary to cope with the disaster. Then the legislature added one sentence. For purposes of this paragraph, private property does not include firearms, ammunition, or components." "They wrote guns out. Read it again and tell me what they left in." "Food. Your pantry is private property. Nobody wrote it out." "Texas has the same law. Government Code 418.017. The governor may commandeer or use any private property if the governor finds it necessary to cope with a disaster. That is the whole sentence. Your pantry, your freezer, your garage full of buckets." I said the government has never come for anybody's pantry. "They have never had to," he said. "You have always been fed. Now watch what they are doing to that." "Last September the Agriculture Department stopped counting the hungry. Thirty years of reports, ended. Their word was redundant. The last count they will ever publish said 47.9 million Americans did not always know where the next meal was coming from. What is not counted cannot be argued." "On the first of November the food stamp cards did not load. First time in the history of the program. Forty two million people. Then the new work rules reached people our age, 55 to 64, and five million came off the rolls in seven months." "And they keep their own. The government seed vault in the Arctic passed 1.4 million samples in June. They mailed seed to a mountain twice this year. In 1917 and again in 1943 this government mailed families seed and a printed guide and told them to grow food. Twenty million gardens in 1943. In 2020, when the shelves went bare, nothing came. Not a packet." "They want you dependent. A dependent family does what it is told. A family with a source of food does not." "Not a stockpile. A stockpile is on the form. A source. Something that keeps coming and is never on a shelf long enough to count." Then he told me not to take a gunsmith's word for it. Four things, he said, and then he went back to the rifle. One. "Type Executive Order 13603 food resources into your phone and read the definition. Ten seconds. Seed is on the list, and so is everything in your kitchen. Then go home and count the cans in your pantry. That number is what the form is for." Two. "Type Texas Government Code 418.017 and read the one sentence. Then type Louisiana 29:724 firearms and read where they wrote guns out. Notice what is still in. Whatever state you live in, your law is a Google away." Three. "Go price ground beef. It was $6.89 a pound in July and set a record in April, because the herd is the smallest since 1951 and four companies own 85 percent of the packing. That is your receipt telling you the food is already getting narrower before anyone signs anything." Four. "Type Svalbard 1.4 million. Read who keeps seed in a mountain. Then count the growing seasons left before 2030, the year on the front of the plan they wrote. Four. And by the way, this is literally the link if you want to check it: https://sdgs.un.org/2030agenda" "The old heirloom seed still does what seed has always done. Every harvest makes next year's seed, free. You cannot carry a garden out of a house. You cannot put a limit per customer on a bean that comes up again in May." "Grow food they cannot take, instead of stockpiling food they can." Then he did the thing no man behind a gun counter does. I asked if I should stock up on ammunition for Mark. "I sell ammunition for a living," he said, "and I am telling you a box of shells has never fed anybody. Buy him a box. Do not buy him a wall of them and call it a plan." He told me not to fill a freezer, because a freezer dies with the power and a full one is a number on a form. He told me to skip the emergency food buckets from the big box ones, because they sit on a shelf where anybody can count them, and when the last one is empty you are back in line. Then he walked me into the back room and showed me what he keeps instead. A sealed seed vault on the shelf above the parts bins. One more at Mark's age, his own son's house in Tyler. The one he buys is called Nuvera. Over 16,000 heirloom seeds. 35 varieties, most of them vegetables, non-GMO. Sealed to keep for years in a cool dark closet, and small enough that nobody looks twice at it. No experience needed. Potting soil, water, sunlight, and it sprouts in a few days. Buckets on a porch count, and I have never grown anything but Wade's tomatoes, and he did the work. Under forty dollars. He was straight with me. "It is forty dollars of seed and a summer of chores, not a fortress." Then he gave me one instruction. "One vault for every household you love. Yours, Mark's, your daughter's. And plant the first row now, while your pantry is still yours to count." I sat in his parking lot and read the order on my phone. Seed is in the definition, exactly like he said. Then I read the Louisiana line. Firearms written out. Food still in. I went home and counted my pantry. Fifty three cans. I wrote the number down and then I did not like looking at it. I ordered that night. One vault for my house, one for Mark's, one for my daughter's. Mine came in four days. There are beans and radishes coming up in two buckets on the back porch, in Wade's old tomato spot. Nobody is counting that. It is not on a shelf. It is in the dirt. >> https://bynuvera.co/products/vegetable-seed-vault-kit It is up to 60% off right now, and every vault comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee. Try it for a season. If you change your mind, they give your money back. Over 10,000 ratings. Vern fixes rifles for a living. He says the rifle protects the house. The garden is why the house is worth protecting. EDITED: Since I wrote this, the Justice Department widened its beef investigation to the eight biggest grocery chains, on the first of September. Vern's line: the doors get narrower, the form stays signed, and the mountain keeps filling up. Mark picked up the rifle Saturday. He picked up a vault too. P.S. Vern's line I cannot shake: they wrote guns out of Louisiana's law. Nobody wrote out food. P.P.S. Over 16,000 seeds, 35 varieties, sealed for years, over 10,000 ratings, and 90 days to send it back for every dollar. P.P.P.S. A pantry is a stockpile, and a stockpile is on the form. A garden is a source, and there is no form for a bean in the dirt. Forty dollars decides which one your family has. P.P.P.P.S. Vern put a vault in his son's house in Tyler without asking him. The Buy 2 Get 1 is three vaults for $69.99, one for you and two for the households you would feed. Decide for them before the form does.
