Several years of rot.

It's not a bad show, and I hate to say I can't believe I've missed the last few years of it. Whoever is producing this show seems to have an agenda that you don't need anything but pump shotguns, revolvers, and bolt action rifles to defend yourself from zombie hordes. Although, I'm not quite sure they are getting the point across. A couple guys with AKs or ARs and a few hundred rounds would have made short work of that zombie horde that hit the farm; even one of those deuce and a half trucks, they passed up so many times, (that will run on all sorts of fuel) would have made a mess of them. But no, they chose to stay with a busted up motor home.

So now I gotta wait for season 3 re-runs to catch them in order.

Don't worry, in Season 3 when other surviving humans become a bigger problem than the zombies, the group finds some full-auto ARs and AKs laying around

It seems the availability of ammo is no longer a problem in the zombie apocalypse.

I'm not watching the show, but I assume this is simply because there are fewer people alive and enough "battlefield pickups" to keep things going?

The part in red: liberal hollywood thinking. Obviously, they are not interested in the historical fact that the AR15 has been the single most popular selling rifle for a couple of decades at least, nor do they think of the 2nd Amendment as being anything more than a guarantee of the right to self-defense and hunting. I noted the following in the earlier episodes, the "bad guy" LEO, the "good guy" LEO's former partner (I can't be bothered to memorize their names), carried an all black XD Compact, while the "good guy" LEO carried a large-framed stainless .357 with a long barrel. The "bad guy" carried his gun either SOB, or in a concealment holster with a certain amount of cant, while the "good guy" carries his big .357 in a nearly useless "cowboy" style holster, dangling low on his thigh and flopping around. The "good guy" is limited to 6 or 7 rounds in the gun while the "bad guy" is limited to whatever the magazine capacity of a XD Compact happens to be (and with a larger magazine available for backup). The good guy is all cowboy, the bad guy is all tactical. The good cop was not mentally or materially prepared for a zombie apocalypse. The bad cop was obviously ready. OTHER bad guys who were ready: the bowhunter and his criminal older brother.

The implications are obvious. People who prep are either paranoid or criminalistic. "Good" people don't think about such things. Survival depends upon "good" people, who possess higher order thinking skills and more finely developed morality, coalescing with the paranoid and criminalistic. Leadership must come from the good people, who also are to provide the moral center for the survivors, while the paranoid and criminalistic are the war fighters. The criminalistic need the good people to keep them from all killing one another, and the good people need the criminalistic to fight and die for them.

The perfect liberal paradigm.

I no longer watch the show. I can't be bothered, since I can see exactly the same thing simply by reading the political news.

Now, if they would make the "Day by Day Armageddon" series of books into a zombie survival movie, THAT would be worth it.
