Donald Trump has referred to the coronavirus as “the Chinese virus”, escalating a deepening US-China diplomatic spat over the outbreak.
After giving an address on Monday warning of a possible recession, the US president posted on Twitter: “The United States will be powerfully supporting those industries, like Airlines and others, that are particularly affected by the Chinese Virus. We will be stronger than ever before!”
Chinese officials reacted angry on the latest remarks made by President Trump and our mainstream media and liberals joined forces with them.
But it seems that America is changing a lot after the “Chinese Virus”.
Panic gun buying is taking place in strict gun control states, lines are building outside Gun stores. The latest video we have comes from California: https://twitter.com/AmyMek/status/1239852040227979269?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1239852040227979269&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativeus.com%2Fvideo-fear-from-the-chinese-virus-causes-panic-gun-buying-in-liberal-states-lines-are-building-outside-gun-stores%2F
Sales of guns and ammunition are soaring across the US as fears of possible social unrest amid the coronavirus crisis are prompting some Americans to turn to firearms as a form of self-protection.
On the west coast, long lines of customers were queueing up outside gun stores to stock up on deadly materials. At the Martin B Retting gun shop in Culver City, California, the queues stretched round the block throughout the weekend.
One customer told the LA Times: “Politicians and anti-gun people have been telling us for the longest time that we don’t need guns. But right now, a lot of people are truly scared, and they can make that decision themselves.
As Los Angeles Magazine reported toilet paper and hand sanitizer aren’t the only commodities that Los Angelenos are panic buying to cope with coronavirus fears.
All across Los Angeles, from Culver City to Burbank, gun sales are booming. Long before compulsory social distancing became a reality in California, gun stores were already selling out of ammo and staying open late to accommodate a panic-driven run on their wares. According to gun shop personnel, most of the rise in demand is being driven by first-time buyers, including many who have never fired a gun.
At Gun World in Burbank on Sunday morning, there were 40 customers waiting in line on the sidewalk when the shop opened at 11 a.m. Two hours later, the manager was already turning customers away. Gun purchases in California are slowed by paperwork—from gun registration to a written gun test—which kept customers waiting around for hours after money had changed hands. Gun and ammunition dealers said they have seen an influx of customers with similar concerns in recent weeks, creating a spike in sales as coronavirus anxiety spreads. Reports of firearms and survival gear flying off the shelves have been widespread, including in California, New York, Washington State, Alabama and Ohio. These leftists are going to be shocked when they realize they have to wait 10 business days before they can take their gun home.

Always be wary of new gun owners, especially in a situation like this. It's a good time to be circumspect, and better safe than sorry.
Preferred by libs everywhere:
Posted this the other day, in regards to libs buying guns:
Here’s a novel idea:
These people rushing to buy firearms “grudgingly” - they should have to show their Voter Registration.
If Voter ID shows Democrat - One-month “cooling off period” - MANDATORY. Followed by NJ style intrusive background checks, local, county, and State police sign-off. After all, they wanted that stuff passed. Oh, and 7-round limit for ALL firearms. Plus, only ONE box of ammo per month.
If Voter ID shows GOP - “Here you go, sir/ma’am. NICS is clear. Have a nice day. Do you want that gift-wrapped? Oh, here’s an extra case of ammo at discount, for shopping with us.”
If a Democrat wants a gun, the approval should be denied on mental illness grounds.
When you REALLY REALLY need a gun for protection, it’s just a mere 10 days away.
That depends on the state. In Georgia, you take it with you right away.
Here in Albuquirky, lines were around the store buying firearms. Ammo was gone, except for the specialty-type calibers. All these first-time purchasers are going to find out they just bought an expensive brick.
I got my trusty SKS and a shotgun..... all i need....
oh yeah wolf surplus ammos
Natalie’s only firing on one egg.
What a lame-a$$ attempt to criticize Trump. “Ooh! Ooh! He said Chinese virus!”.
Well, it is from China, and in more ways than one. China sucks, anyway, for a whole lot of reasons like Hong Kong and Christians, so this virus is just par for the course for them. Suck it up, Peking!
Americans buy more guns. Excellent! To be armed is to be safe!
Just like they were shocked when they bought during the LA riots. “BUT I NEED IT NOW!”
National Socialists shouldn’t be allowed guns. They want to take ours, right ADOLF er BERNIE er JOE?
The local Atwoods got hit pretty hard over the last few days. All major handgun and shotgun ammo gone.
Mmmmmm...... must be a lot of people hitting the range and/or bird hunting.
Give the demo-rats the guns with the barrels facing towards them
This article reads like it was translated by BabbelFish.
Is English Natalie’s second language?
I worked Sat. and believe me, the panic buying is happening.
I have to go in today at noon and am not looking forward to it.
Sat. was crazy busy, we got cleaned out of 9mm and 5.56/.223.
“Always be wary of new gun owners, especially in a situation like this. It’s a good time to be circumspect, and better safe than sorry.”
Yep. Going to range this AM.
My ChiCom-made SKS digests dirty Russian ammo just fine.
But where I live, those who own a hundred guns each are known as....pikers.
