Covid-19 and the madness of crowds

You can't just go out and buy them all as I think some states restrict to one gun a month, gun buying laws are state by state I believe.  Thinking ahead about a vaccine approval.......I can only imagine how slammed all the local family dr offices will get, the lines will be endless.

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.

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

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.

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

Democrats go hunting, we just don't need an AR-15 with a bump stock to shoot up whole flocks of ducks and geese.
