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.”
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.
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.
This article reads like it was translated by BabbelFish.
Is English Natalie’s second language?
“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."
The wise made such decisions for themselves a long time ago.
People should start red-flagging them.
The wise stocked up on such things years ago.
Back in 2002, a house guest, a West Coast "Liberal," upon learning that we have guns in our home, said this: "Oh! I think such things are best left to the police!"
My wife replied: "Out here in the Middle of Nowhere? I don't think so."
Not just liberal states.
Gun buying is up elsewhere, too.
My "liberal" relatives in California are blaming Trump for everything (as usual). They're angry that he's keeping them from leaving their homes--and everything else they can think of. Such delusional, irrational, un-pragmatic thinking is in itself dangerous, but that's not all.
I'm not particularly worried about the virus, which evidently is highly communicable but has a low mortality rate, but I am very worried about the panic--and also the economy.
Trump's right: when the virus threat subsides, the economy will come roaring back with unprecedented energy and to unprecedented heights, but until then, large numbers of people could be out of work, suddenly impoverished, and desperate.
If supplies become short and people become desperate, and civil unrest could follow.
The hoarding is a means of staying holed-up in one's home. That's why there's a run on such things as toilet paper.
I do not want to add to the panic--so I hesitate to make this observation--but the US population is sharply divided along political/cultural lines. If civil unrest should reach a certain point, the declaration of martial law could become necessary; however, that in itself could exacerbate the political/cultural division.
I'm sure that President Trump and his advisors have already considered this and planned whatever pre-emptive action is possible.
Any thoughts?
Checked my carry weapon and ammo and started carrying my spare mag again...
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Tuesday the Trump administration is working with Congress on a plan that would send checks to Americans in an effort to blunt the coronavirus pandemic’s effect on the economy.
“We are looking at sending checks to Americans immediately,” Mnuchin told reporters. “Americans need cash now and the president wants to get cash now. And I mean now, in the next two weeks.
“We want to make sure Americans get money in their pockets quickly,” Mnuchin said at a White House briefing on the virus. “We want to make sure small business owners have access to the funds. We want to make sure airlines, hotels. We have an entire package.”
