It is fun to see all the different views on this
Monotony: The opinion from the survival guide of yours I do not like, looking like it's influenced by some government funded money. Removing guns from civilians would seem to serve their interests, and it probably would. But all the millions of patriots that would defend their country with their guns, if they were at war? It's a free underground army!
Having a natural disaster situation would be worse, with more helpless people killing others.
It would serve you and not be a danger for anyone if you lived far from everyone else under a crisis. If you have to defend [not against the army of course], you have at least tried to avoid it! And after that it is up to you to help build a new world.

What I tried to say in the last post is that a gun is just another tool for aquiring food, like a fishing rod really! At least they don't take those..
But everyone sees guns as evil tools now because they have been misused in terrible wars and for murders. We all need food in dark times, and when there's plenty of food living in the woods you would not harvest the nature as we have always done? Is there a big difference of hunting it with rifle or bow [the rifle being the best shot of course], and eating a self-slaughtered deer or shopping it at the mall?
If some are die-hard vegitarians I would understand their choice, but it will not help them survive a long crisis, making their bodies weak too [losing B12 + more] over the years being selective about food.
I tried to live as a vegitarian once, it did not work well since it takes much skill and info to do it the "right" way and me being a quite helpless young cook
I actually REALLY love the idea that no living life should be exploited as food or in other ways, but the world have not come far enough.. Improving rights for all and especially fur animals are extremely important though.
May Peace last, as fragile as it is
