Americans have been hoarding guns for years now. I guarantee you I have dozens of neighbors who have been in the gun of the month club since the Clinton years because "them dimmycratz is comin' fer muh gunz!". It doesn't take long for a 2 person household to accumulate more guns than you can move in one vehicle. Take a little drive out to rural Snohomish or Pierce county on a clear day and you will hear the arsenals roaring. What I can tell you is currently happening, having just visited a local armory, is there is definitely a run on ammunition. |

If them commie demcratz really did take away their guns, where would they put approximately 75 million guns. On the moon? |

Has anyone considered what might happen in a few months time when, with about 60% to 70% of humanity out of action, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and wildfires are due to start again globally? I can't imagine anyone preparing for this.

You seem like you have full control of the situation there my man. (Makes mental note) |

What I want to know is where did Jose get those flushable wipes. Some shady dealer in a back alley?

No? That actually gets me a little excited on your part Steve. Knowing your tastes I think you’ll love them It took me a little while plus the help of a friend who kept playing tracks off of various albums of theirs, and then they clicked with me. |

Boris Johnson has just stated that the UK can turn the Coronavirus around in 12 weeks without intending to shut down public transport. This man is my hero.

Being a gun owner since the age of 11, I find at absolutely laughable. Never once thought any government entity was coming after my guns. It's a pretty snowflakey concept, as that particular faction loves to accuse their nemeses of. |

They're also doing this in my neck of the woods in Pennsylvania. First hour goes to senior citizens, then the rest of us. Some sections of the supermarket are empty or mostly empty. They ran out of eggs yesterday, but new shipments came in today. Haven't seen toilet paper on the shelves since the end of last week. Fortunately my wife ordered an 18-roll pack from Target the week before this all started, so good for awhile (hopefully). No infections in my neck of the woods yet, but it's certainly knocking on our door. We've been treating this as if it's spreading (which it probably is from asymptomatic individuals). I hate going to the stores right now because there are a lot of people not getting the message of social distancing. Scary news of the day: CDC reported that of the 508 hospitalized in the U.S., 38% were in the age range of 20-54. Good news of the day: China had no new infections in the last 24 hours.

I hear ya but person who posted that made it sound like all of a sudden all the guns were being bought up in the last month. I don't own any guns, my daughter, couple sons and son in law do own guns....I have zero issue with it. I live in Pierce and don't hear any arsenal going off regularly, I am sure in rural parts its different say south Pierce as you get into and past Eatonville. I know many Pierce police and they tell me its been quiet the past month with many staying home now.

I've owned the same Browning Citori 12 gauge since the 80s. Democrats go hunting, we just don't need an AR-15 with a bump stock to shoot up whole flocks of ducks and geese.

I'm starting to wonder if the virus is nature's reaction to Trump, like in War of the Worlds. |

It seems like owning a bidet is as strange to an American as a civilian owning a gun to a European.

And, the only thing having more guns than you can carry does is attract thieves.

If my math is correct, and the Chinese government is telling the truth about their lockdown timing, sounds like we are about 3 weeks from turning the trend around.

The UK is asking thousands of retired doctors and nurses to return to help tackle the emergency. Seeing that the virus is especially dangerous to the elderly, this seems a bit ... irresponsible? But then again I'm sure that especially nurses get enough money stuffed up the wazoo to happily get ill and die in service to the community.
