When the collapse comes the power vacuum will be filled with those who have the guns. In the cities Criminal Organizations will carve up each block warring with each other for power like feudal states. In more rural areas local militias might take hold.

It won’t last due to the reliance of the system in the city, there will be much fighting in the cities for increasingly smaller resources, Whoever has the guns to survive the initial chaos will either have to adapt or conquer surrounding areas
-
Yeah they'll have to move out to the suburbs where they will meet organized resistance. Although I'm skeptical of any order emerging out of the chaos for a long time. Guns and food: bullets, batteries, beans.
-
It will definitely take some time for a group to carve out order in the cities, it might be much more likely that an outside force comes to conquer taking advantage of the chaos like Nobunaga did in Japan, even then it take a while for said conquerer to be able to actually do it
-
Organized resistance in the suburbs? I have a hard time believing soccer moms and and fixie bike dads will defend anything but i could be wrong.
-
Well maybe I'm biased but gun culture and hunting and the like are huge around here and there's a lot of military people.
-
I guess it differs from place to place, I see suburbs as ripe for picking. Usually No natural defence points, lots of wealth, no food being grown.

Wealthier places will definitely be the first to go, mostly gated communities like Beverly Hills. I’ve read accounts on the Yugoslavic Conflict that said the same. Many of the houses that where gated and incredibly protected didn’t even last a week.
