I look at the people who stockpile thousands of rounds and dozens of weapons in case of civil unrest, and I can only wonder how many people does that guy really think that he's going to have to kill? How many will be reasonably be willing to kill? How many could he kill and still stay sane?

Would that person actually be able and willing to pull the trigger when the time comes? When he catches somebody taking the apples from his trees, going through his pantry?

I can't even come close to imagining a scenario in which forty mosins still in cosmoline and twenty thousand rounds would really contribute to survival, but the cost of the prep could have been spent on a bit of remote land and some equipment and a motor bike to get around with.

Survival isn't about fireworks, it's about clever planning and actions. A swat team will sometimes use gas or flash bangs instead of bullets.
