Desperate people will do anything to get what they need to survive. And I am assuming that the police force and military are too busy surviving or doing other tasks to worry about looting and thievery.
The guns aren't required in a lot of survival situations or emergencies, and I don't have any guns yet. But if something really bad happened where the fabric of society went away and violent anarchy was the law of the land. Guns may provide some assistance. Or at least I could offer something in order to join the local gang or mafia that has taken over.
I forgot the most basic, and most important thing, a survival manual. Both a simple, basic one and a more extensive one would be best. And a basic knowledge of first-aid would be a good thing, with a manual for that as well. You can't always count on the internet being accessible in an emergency.
Also, Iodine and hand tools should be on the list. CB radio wouldn't be a bad idea, and neither would some short-range walkie-talkies.
Also having a plan for building a simple wind turbine, collecting rainwater, and where and what to plant in a garden would be good to have thought out.
