Way ahead of this guy! I have two 5.56/223 rifles, two 6.8 rifles, and three in wildcats. and my Sons, and Grandson, already have their own rifle. My wife thinks she will get by with her M&P 9mm. I have one for her, too. 
The takeaway for me, is salt away a couple of lower parts kits, and a spare bolt head, or two, more. And get a couple of spare 223 Wylde chambered barrels, to convert those Pdog/coyote wildcats, into something more MILSPEC. I already have a pretty impressive pile of spare parts, just from building and upgrading rifles, but I can see some need to beef up the pile, for a few critical parts.
As for the grasshopper reference in this article, I have had several people tell me if the SHTF, they are coming to my place. I tell them have food, ammo, and fuel, or don't come. Without supplies, they will be shot like all marauding brigands. I love the look on their faces when I give them that news. Reality seems to have alluded them, until that comment slaps them up side the head. "Really?", is usually the first response. "Serious as a heart attack", is my response. That really puts an interesting expression on "Grasshoppers" face.
But yes, now is a good time to pick up a lower receiver or two, and learn how to build America's Lego Rifle. It is more than fun and educational. It crafting a tool that we hope we never need.
