Much of the online traffic appears to be coming from states that either have reported a high number of COVID-19 cases, or states that border others where clusters have been reported.

Lots of state statistics at link.

Urban libtards starting to realize maybe they do need a gun?

Went my local gun range today to relieve some stress thinking it would be empty..

It was empty in range part, but the gun start part was nearly sold out of guns and ammunition...the only things left were out for display...

When I left 4 people were filling out paperwork to make a purchase.....

It’s nuts.
My dream retirement job is turning into a nightmare with this clamoring for guns and ammo.
Lots of new first time buyers with no time to educate them.
One woman bought a Ruger LCP just because that was the only thing we had ammo for.
She’ll hate it the first time she shoots it.

Yup. Most likely a clueless Prius owner.

I have more ammo than I will ever use tho at one time I would have thought that I needed more. Basically a surplus of .22LR and .22 Mag.

I do wish I had a bit more soft point 8mm Mauser.

Owning and Knowing are worlds apart. Now that can be scary.

[PROCON]

Well, she needs to protect her TP stash!

[Old Yeller]

In anticipation of a hillary presidency?

[M Kehoe]

BLOAT.

5.56mm

That ammo will be worth more than gold in a barter situation if this crap continues Dog.

Buy a press and some dies and save a bundle. I produce 45acp, 44mag, 45-70, 30-06 etc at less than half the purchase price. Plus you can almost always find powder, primers and bullets. Plus my Dad left me his molds. I can cast my own if need be. He left me 100 pounds of lead. Lol.

Yup.

BIL has a whole room full of ammo and the guns to go with them. We live 8 miles away in a remote area. With about four month’s supply of food. We have a deal.

Knew I shoulda bought another 5000 rounds of CCI MiniMag. :*(

As long as I'm not shot, I will just pick up guns and ammo off the dead bodies laying around.

That's how I figure it, as well.

Stock up. Stock up. One way or another this all may well be the definitive end of the Republic.

My wife likes her LCP. Of course, I’ve replaced the grips and added a laser.

She has no problems putting three into center of mass from 25 feet. And that’s without the laser.
