They're always going on about being well-armed in a "shit hits the fan" scenario. They envision themselves as guerrilla guardians of freedom, patriots fighting to the last.
if they were serious, they'd be stocking up on antibiotics, shoes, and water purification kits, and worrying about ammo later. Having all the guns in the world won't help you if your entire "force" is suffering dysentery.
Welcome to guerrilla warfare, boys; it's 100% not like Red Dawn.

I agree. The deeper you get into the gun culture, the more disgusting this whole thing becomes.

Except I think they figure their guns will put them in control, and they can take whatever

I didn't see it that way. Figuring they realize they could eventually face those guns they ignore.
