Posted By: denton Ammo Sales Up Sharply - 03/06/20
Ammunition sales are up sharply the past couple of weeks.

Seems strange to me. That level of civil unrest is extremely unlikely, and it's very hard to shoot a virus. If it's roving gangs of toilet paper thieves you're worried about, I suppose it might make a (very) little sense.

If you don't have enough ammo on hand for your regular target practice, you may see shortages for a little while.

I have to admit to contributing to that statistic, but wasn’t aware I was doing it in anticipation of viral unrest. Just needed some. Could have been unconscious.
Uncertain times will do that.

Communist running for president, viral pandemic, stores getting cleaned out....

Oh NO! I've only got about 25K .22LR on hand! Whatever shall I do?

Happily, I've got a couple thousand .45ACP, .223, and various others on hand to make up anything else I need right now. Including a couple flats of 12gauge.

Well, to keep your membership card, you need to get busy and acquire a decent amount.

Mr Obvious says........any virus is most likely to spread in a heavily populated urban area.

If that does happen.....will any of those uninflected urbanites want to relocate in a previously occupied rural location?

Which political party does the big city electorate support?

It would almost be social justice in many liberal idiot minds.

Ammo and shovels. For outhouse holes of course.

That’s kind of been the trending joke as of late.

Heard a story about a conversation at a dinner party. The gist of it was, some people are saying that they expect President Trump to win a second term.They also firmly believe that at the end of his second term he will declare martial law, stay in power indefinitely. It was insinuated that if he stole the election they would have to prevent him from being inaugurated. The person leading the conversation is a highly educated professional in the legal field.

This makes no sense. I mean a box of 9mm Luger costs about $10. For that one can buy five cans of Deutsche Kuche soups or five cans of tuna. Soup or tuna is much more useful than a box of ammo. Naturally if one wants healthier food from glass jars for $10 the quantity drops to 3 jars of soup and two jars of tuna. This is still far better deal than a box of ball ammo.

She. A naturalize U.S. citizen of middle eastern descent. I questioned the person relaying information about the conversation to me if she slept through her courses where the constitution was discussed.

No.dumbphuck, he does not have the DESIRE to do it.

There are a lot of hysterical liberal Elitists who have been spewing such BS since Trump got elected.

Once his second term is over, he will be glad to leave Washington.

I guess this means people are getting ready to shoot anyone that has the virus to keep it from spreading.

Might work too.

I think it's more about concerns over civil unrest and the breakdown of civil order in the wake of a deadly pandemic.

More specimens for the ‘Bodyworks’ museums.

Nope, those positions are reserved for political objectors. Incinerators running for those infected.

Life is cheap over there.
