They say if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. Well, those are precisely the people who need them!

You're really spread out now, you've got stuff all over the WORLD! You've got stuff at home, stuff in storage, stuff in Honolulu, stuff in Maui, stuff in your pockets...supply lines are getting longer and harder to maintain.
