But objectively, there is a large category of people who are bored with their current lifestyle and gleefully expect a "total breakdown" of the society so that they could shoot live man sized targets instead of boring paper targets.
They are likely to be disappointed by Y2K, or so I expect. (again, my expectation that social breakdown is not likely to happen does not preclude me from reasonable preparations)
When the power goes out, the rioting and looting starts in the cities. (This isn't New Zealand, baby, this is LA) When the rioters get bored, they'll get into cars. When they run out of gas, they'll stay where they are stranded as the gas pumps don't work. Some fine huntin' then, bubba. Mr. Moisin-Nagant
