Maybe people figure shooting the virus will kill it.

read somewhere the west coast Asian populace is arming themselves and stocking up on ammo.

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
 
One good thing that has come of this is my new favorite word: hamsterkauf

Or in my case, "munitionhamsterkauf".
 
I find it hilarious that 12/10/8 years ago when we were stockpiling ammo/supplies/prepper goods, etc, the left was going crazy about how nuts we were. Now, some people get a more nasty version of the flu, and the left is charging in to Costco, clearing the shelves of hand sanitizer, paper towels, and bottled water. I love the irony.
