we would not even go that far back , more likely we would end up with technology from around the 1860's or even 1880's , oil lamps steam power hand tools etc all achievable with out modern technology , depending on the the of shtf the short time after it happens would be the survive on your own or in small groups, but long term would mean small groups would join up and create some sort of new organized society with rules and laws , those who farm and make thing and those who protect , not all preppers /survivors will be gun mad shot at anything nuts in fact the vast majority of us will be the opposite just willing to go that bit further to protect ourselves and others we are with .

generally i agree with you, this country would be more placid than America where they all seem to be gun nuts...you read their prepping sites and its all guns and ammo...especially on youtube.
