The second reason is concerns over so-called big government infringing on American freedoms such as gun ownership, which is enshrined in the US constitution.
"I think it's hard to discount the very minor chance of there being temporary civil unrest where I can't rely on the police department. New York, Massachusetts, and New Mexico have forced shops to close but have allowed them to continue selling online. Washington state ordered shops to close, but several continued to operate despite the ban.Gun control advocacy groups have praised the closures.
If they are using them against the virus they must have hell of a good sights on them
Always. It’s the most weak and frightened who buy guns and want to kill people.
To shoot the virus?
Cos shooting it will make it go away 😒
What a surprise- any excuse to have a gun for some people in USA.
ramblings of a none thinking man
Gun won't project from a virus.
Total lunatics. Thank God we live in a (slightly) saner country.
Mientras medio mundo está confinado en sus casas, los norteamericanos hacen negocios con las armas!!! Será para defenderse del Corina virus ? 🤮🤑🤮🤑🤮🤑🤑🤑🤑
Time will come wen only the violent will survive in America. I believe they preparing for the worst .
It’s the same phenomenon as people who panic-buy toilet paper... fear makes people do very strange things.
if civilians are fully armed it would be hard for the army to suppress any uprising
Yes thats what happens when we all watch tv and movies like walking dead. Everyone think we will devolve into lawlessness. But i did get shot gun shells and a modified stock, just in case. But make sure you behind me and i know its you. Cause i aint no dirty harry
Just mental disorder
The panic buying says a lot about a country. In America people panic bought guns and ammo. In the UK people panic bought toilet paper and hand sanitiser. In Germany there was gold panic buying.
All the guns you can buy. No bullets to sell. The irony.
Because of the zombies... Watch the movies... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Americans just being Americans
This is bizarre. They can't kill a virus. Thanks God we don't need the gun in the UK.
Lets shoot it out the fckin air
Toilet paper and guns, the world is Really weird
How do these people shoot what they can't see? Do they have the antidote 2 Covid-19? errr Nope. If they did then people would be buying guns globally. Only in the states.. ffs. Thank god people r restricted from entering. The immigrants must be thankful they dodged a 'bullet'
If the virus doesn't get them 🥺😀
No wonder with all the zombies. U need to try anything to protect yourself in hardtimes
Already some chaos going on in cities. Stealing from stores and cars. Most people have guns in Florida so it’s confined to mostly inner cities so far
how many got sick with the virus being paranoid?
Social disorder? No. Gvt services breaking down and no longer functioning? Maybe. Esp If cops aren't showing up when you call because 'covid-19'. (doesn't matter if you're calling them to protect you or your neighbors).
Oh FFS, Jeez really and truly..... you've just got to watch deliverance once in your lifetime...if you can't do that then look at trumpy pump. It is no wonder they've bought more guns... the walking dead are coming to get them.hope the gun weilders die b4 they use any gun. Xx
Yes gun sales
They buy a gun for any eventuality - I’ve heard they taste nice with Gritz, Tatter Tots & Collard Greens - MORONS
i have a catapult
my favorite part 'Some states have allowed gun stores to continue to operate as 'essential' businesses despite mandatory lockdown orders affecting around 90% of the US'
As Americans get ready for zombies apparently
How about the part where cities like Philadelphia are 'delaying warrants' for crimes like burglary and grand theft auto. Seems like a perfect time to become a gun owner to me.
as a gun hating American, I can actually understand why gun sales have spiked. If this lasts for years and society breaks down,they fear people will come for their stuff. like The Walking Dead. These people always think someone is trying to break in their house so it makes sense
In America Covid 19 outbreak..they don't buy face marks or sanitizes..instead they buy GUNS...no wonder American Cowboys show are famous all around the global !! amen !!
Of course them thar amerhickans are going to shoot the hell out of the lil critter
BWalkerSEC BarstoolBigCat _rone tell me this isn’t Brandon....I won’t believe you
spoiler alert: YES
From the country which brings you headlines like: 'Americans warned not to shoot at tornadoes. Again.'
Putting gun stores in the 'essential businesses' category probably didn't help . . .
Yeah,like this will calm things down,NOT!!😡get rid of the f’n things!😡😡
A clear representation of how sick that society is
Nothing to do with social fear. It's simply people want something to do. Shooting is a good pastime in a country that allows it.
Americans seem to think they can shoot viruses out of the air.
Shoot the virus ? 🇺🇸 USA strong 💪🏾
