I hypothesize that a firearms community would be as good as any to Trojan horse mutual aid networks.

Whenever someone starts on a rant about a rugged individualism fantasy... they'll buy guns... build a bunker... fuck it, whatever... I'm always like

"Yeah that's a great idea. Let's get a group of us and do that. Find some land, dig in a bunker. I have a buddy with a backhoe. Let's do that but build it for 14 people"

Every time it just unravels as a fantasy rather than a genuine plan or genuine desire. But if it ever hits I'd be delighted to grow a rugged individuals co-op.

There are definitely good firearms communities, like the Black Panthers that used open carry laws to follow cops around and intimidate them into obeying the law, or soldiers in Rojava. The power fantasy of a using firearms in a well-organised militia to dissuade imperial aggression and act in mutual aid with other communities is healthy and valid.
