Only in America: Panic-Buying Guns?

[Gilliver's Travels]

Forget bathroom paper! What America really needs to keep everybody safe... is more and more guns!

No time to waste! Why shit when you can shoot?

 

[Jim D]

Well, if you're to be quarantined for 4 months you can never tell how many guns and how much ammo you'll need. Better to be safe.....

 

[Icy Gull]

****ing scary stuff

He said his name was Sirus!

Shooting klingons off at 40 paces due to a shortage of loo roll?

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

Last week I heard it was ammunition that was being panic-bought. You ask yourself if they're expecting packs of rabid Covid-19 zombies trying to invade their homes to nick the bog-rolls. Bizarre.

Leave them alone - The First Amendment states that they have a right to protect their Loo Roll

Is there any rationing like only 4 guns per moron?

That would be a bit unfair. What if you're a couple with 3 children? One of them isn't going to get a gun.

I'd say leave a gun in between two of them and then it is survival of the fittest, that way they are also home schooling them by using Darwinism in action, but that lesson will probably be lost on them as they probably don't believe in evolution. It also then relieves the burden of having an extra mouth to feed.

It's so they can help Trump kill the C--hin-a Virus when it comes knocking

 

[RexCathedra]

Sooner or later they're going to come boiling out of the inner cities to get our hand sanitizer and toilet paper.

One must be ready...

 

[Pavilionaire]

I saw that on the news last night. Basically:

"Why are you buying a gun?"
"Because someone might try and break in to my home and steal my food."

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Simpsons did it.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

There were at least 2 people who used to post on NSC (one was something Biggums) who have advocated arming the public because it is both safer, since other people with guns will think twice about shooting you, and fairer, since you now have a gun like other people with guns.

The fact that I think there is a tiny flaw in that reasoning, whereas they see it as a statement of the bleeding obvious is why I have these folk on ingnore. There is enough in this world we don't know about to keep us occupied - why even bother engaging with the twisted brain-wrong of one-off man-mentals?

Yes. The shop in the video below is limiting buyers to just 3 ammunition ‘units’ per customer. Trump has got to sort this out, I’m not sure his voters could take any further restrictions on gun and ammunition purchases!

If it last a long time and people get all kinds of desperate... this shit is going to turn into a big fat problem.

A documentary program out here called 60 Minutes had a segment on Ghost Guns. They are sent out by post in pieces and assembled at home. The point they were making is that because they are put together by the owner they can legally bypass background checks and owner registration. Some States have passed laws restricting ghost guns which, of course, the NRA is challenging. In the current climate sales of these guns are going through the roof.

Plenty of this being lapped up.

Marvellous, would love it all to end up like the closing scenes in Taxi Driver or Reservoir Dogs where everybody gets shot, I'm really lacking any sympathy for Americans with guns.
