Coronavirus = ammo stockpiling?

Maybe people figure shooting the virus will kill it.

Virus or no virus... is it ever a bad idea to stock pile ammo?

Only if you're drowning or on fire.

I wonder if the timing is coincidental, with Shotgun Joe "fingering" Point Man O'Rourke as his gun czar, or gun fuhrer, or whatever. Yeah, I know O'Rourke is a dweeb, but Himmler was a dweeb. A dweeb with political power is a dangerous creature.

Have you personally seen anybody stockpiling ammo -- or anything else -- because of concern about the corona virus? Toilet paper? Hand sanitizer? Masks? Zinc lozenges?

People can get hysterical sometimes. A person actually told me he had been planning to go to a Chinese restaurant, but changed his mind because coronavirus, as if that was self-evident. Seriously? Stop going to P.F. Chang's and Panda Express because coronavirus?

We took our weekly trip to costco this week, wasn't the mad house I had been hearing about. In fact, it was quite normal.....

i think the mad rush is dependent upon timing, was in it the other day and kinda hectic in the paper goods area, little mroe than the normal idiots standing in isle day dreaming about buying everything there. and the rudeness was much more prevolent, i was kinda hoping for a donny brook to break out amongst the folks, but alas, just ugly stares and head shaking. fricken cowards

Or in my case, "munitionhamsterkauf".
