They're prepping for the first week, and amassing guns to take from more prepared people after that. To them, Doomsday is their opportunity to go Mad Max style. They're looking forward to being the bad guys in every post-apocalyptic film, the raider group everyone runs and hides to avoid.

Except this logic only works if they are the only ones who have a gun.

I'm going to survive doomsday by surrounding my compound with boxes labeled "AR-15 ammo" but they contain deadly snakes.

Takes care of the bad element, and as long as I figure out a plan to deal with the snakes, I get some free guns too.

Have snakes that don't live long, only put males in the boxes and hope that live doesn't find a way.

It will be our obligation as a collective to seize their excessive wares anyway once the chaos of an apocalypse is over, so I guess they can have fun in their final stand
