A lot of these militia guys also don't learn the survival tasks they consider feminine. How many know any sort of gathering skills, cooking anything not meat based, laundry, mending clothes? Those are probably more day to day useful during the apocalypse than rifle shooting or how to wear camo paint.

Yeah, I think the idea there is if you point a gun at someone and tell them to cook and wash the clothes, it's likely to get done. It's that male power fantasy again. They desire civilizational collapse because then they think their love affair with guns will give them the authority and respect that can't find in the real world.

Meanwhile, it's just likely to make them a target. And since most of the people I've come across like this are typically overweight morons, they're just more likely to be killed in the extremely unlikely scenario they're preparing/hoping for. But they see themselves as the main character.

The best tactic to deal with them would be to simply hang around on the periphery until they do something dumb and die of some preventable infection, then move in.
