Random thought. Should we ever face a real EOTWAWAKI situation, what effect do you think that would have on gun manufacturing, ownership, maintenance, and related things in the long term?
Would people just scavenge and repair existing firearms, or try to do home-builds from non-firearm parts? Would guns become largely irrelevant due to lack of easy access to gunpowder and other refined manufactured goods? Would we see more of a focus on purpose-built guns and less on mass-produced consumer-grade firearms, or the inverse due to increased need for consistent and reliable firearms in a post-law world?
This is obviously a theoretical exercise with a lot of variables that could change outcomes, but curious to see what you all think.
