You are on the best one right here. Way too many get heavily into politics and indulge in fantasies. The basics on the home page here are a great start and there are lots of worthwhile threads.

Many sites emphasize strife and conflict. Adversity will arrive and you will be attacked because you worthwhile stuff, so you need lots of guns and ammo to mow down the hordes.

I won't deny that conflict can be present during disasters, but it is a much ess common than imagined in most fantasy sites. I do think that a well rounded individual is competent around firearms, but shooting isn't the first action.

Any specific questions??
