As Coronavirus Panic Grows, Americans are Buying Guns and Ammo as Part of Their Preparations-video

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


‘We don’t have anything!’ Las Vegas gun shop owner tells customers to stay away after his shelves were stripped by panic-buyers amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    In reality, we have a few big uncertainties; Coronavirus and the world economy, the latter of which is being directly affected by the first.


    With that comes a certain amount of panic, and aside from people stocking up on toilet paper for some reason, they’re also stocking up on guns and ammo.


    It’s not just any type of guns, though. It’s self-defense guns. With an uncertain future comes panic buys and a feeling of needing to be prepared for the worst.


     

    I’m not going to speculate on what’s going to happen in the future, but more guns and ammo in the hands of lawful Americans is never a bad thing in this book.


     

    As the US scrambles to deal with the spread of coronavirus, panic buying is spreading across the country.


    Long lines are forming outside gun stores from California to Alabama to New York State, and it’s not just already well-armed gun enthusiasts joining in the rush. One seller in Mesa, AZ told a local TV station that he was seeing an uptick in first-time buyers, as did a store manager in Vallejo, CA.

    Reporting from outside a gun store in Cobb County, Georgia, Fox 5’s Patty Pan reported that the owner of a store there had lived through “everything from Ebola to the bird flu” but had “never seen anything like this”, with lines as much as 12 people deep at the gun counter “non-stop for weeks now”.

    Ammunition too is flying off the shelves. Online seller Ammo.com has released figures showing a huge surge in sales in the 11 days leading up to 4 March. The top ammunition-buying states were North Carolina and Georgia.


    Another online retailer, Widener’s Reloading and Shooting Supply, told the National Rifle Association that by late February, both sales and online traffic had practically doubled since the same time last year.


    Some of the surge in sales can be chalked up to a general feeling of paranoia; as one seller said, “Any time people are uneasy, sales go up, and it’s always the same, guns and ammo”. But other Americans are arming themselves for more specific reasons.


    One gun shop owner in Arcadia, CA told a local CBS station that his store had seen ten times the usual number of customers – many of them Asian Americans worried that in the event of rising social disorder, they may be targeted because of their ethnicity. Reports of racism directed at Asian Americans have surfaced across the US.


    Panic buying in general is taking hold to such an extent that Donald Trump has now told people to stop.


    “Relax. You’re doing great,” he said, citing conversations with CEOs of major companies. “There’s no need for anybody in the country to hoard essential food supplies, they said to me. Have a nice dinner, relax, because there’s plenty. You don’t have to buy the quantities, because it’s hard to refill.”


    Do you think it’s crazy? Do you think it’s practical? Are you doing it, or are you already loaded up?

        It’s always a good idea to be armed and dangerous. That is – to people that wish to do you harm. :wink:

        Why do you think people like Joe Bite’m, Hillaryous and practically all Demoncraps want to take away your guns? :wink:

        It’s better to have it and not need it than to not have it and need it ! So much talk of a world economy crashing . People know that when this happens thugs try to take over and gangs run rampid . No money , No police . After a while they too will go home to try and take care of their families . It is then that the evil tryrants begin to emerge from their dark places . The democrats have sucked up to the natzi NWO Vatican and UN agenda of a world take over . But most don’t know these bastards of lucifer wants depopulation by 95% . Read their 2020-2030 agenda . Then check out their Georgia Guide Stones in Georgia ! We the people know evil is coming ! So therefore we the people are preparing for they the evil tryrants and our enemies that may sail the ocean blue to visit us from other lands while we are down . We the people know that the evil money system that was being set up since 1871 by the shadow government that stole our gold and silver coins that our Constitution told us to have in place at all times , has now been taken to a forein land and hide in underground vaults . All we have to show for their evil money system is pieces of paper with pictures of dead presidents that has a worth of no more than toilet paper . Then on top of that the evil bankers loaned us money and then printed it , but did not print the interest money so that could be paid back to the loan officials . So they intern begin take goods and services from the nations . Soon the nations are raped of its goods and services and bankrupted . Now the evil bastards of lucifer ( devil ) take over the country or nation . Then slavery begins and death to those they do not want or care for . This virus everyone is fearing has bad side effects , but no where near the numbers in deaths as does the flu or alcohol related deaths . This is being used as a cover up for the economy crash . The evil bankers now want no pieces of paper but cards or chips . Your money will be in cyber space in a computer . If they don’t like you , push a button and poof your money is gone . This is the ultimate control if we let them set up this system . All because of their criminal system of printing no interest money in order to pay back all the loan . This is why America is 21 trillion in debt . We have no way to pay back on their criminal set up system . America should bomb the hell out of them and go and retrieve our stolen gold and silver from their vaults . We the people , the government out number them by millions to 1 . We let our representatives tell us what we are going to do . They are responsible in answering to us and not we to them . This is why we are in the mess we are in . Trump is the only one that seems to truly care for the people of America . He now is fighting with these bastards , trying to take back what they took away from us . We need to help him take on this fight and rid our enemies more quickly from our land . I believe that this virus is now being used to round up these evil bastards of lucifer . Probably many of the evil ones will supposedly die of this virus . Oh well as long as they are being removed , what difference does it make wether they die in an accident or by the virus that they didn’t get . American Milatery is taking care of the evil bastards . Go Trump !
