****new subculture?****
Back before 1975 no one (except me) had a survivalist mentality. You almost could not give away assault style rifles (exceept to me). Everyone wanted hunting rifles.

Then people began to learn about the Government’s “MAD” (Mutually assured Destruction) program, and the total failures of the incopetent Jimmy Carter put everyone on edge.

Survivalism began to raise it’s head about 1976 when the late Mel Tappan began his series of articles in GUNS AND AMMO magazine, and his book SURVIVAL GUNS.

Survivalism was then on a roll! No gun show was complete without lots of books on survivalism and many authors made the rounds where they suffered the ridicule of hosts such as Phil Donnahu.

Survivalism took a hit when Reagan brought in stability, but later some endorsed the Y2K debaucle. but those of us with level heads did not fall for it.

Society did not fall as was expected, but now we have Democrats worse than Jimmy Carter in power so be ready!
