    Perhaps there is a better way than tit-for-tat demonization of those we disagree with?

      I can't believe Roy couldn't use common sense in the OP and figure out what was leading folks during a pandemic to buy guns. Or was he playing dumb just to start a discussion about it?

        I was a little surprised too since he's a smart guy.

          He never said it was. And he never acted like it was. You are not being fair.

            You're right, people are obviously buying guns because they think the China flu can be put down with bullets.

                Being smart is not the same as having common sense. Many smart guys on Tweb trade their common sense for leftism, Fake News, and trust in ''''''experts'''''''. Then they say stupid things, and demi kicks their Edited by a Moderator.

Essential businesses are food stores, garages and pharmacies. In American, people are buying guns. Essential businesses include gun-shops.

                        Covid-19 can't be shot, so what are the guns for? Shooting anyone who comes too close? Shooting any-one who tries to raid their hoard of toilet rolls? Shooting any newly-released jailbirds? Shooting any government official who tries to enforce restrictions on congregating? Or survival in the inevitable Mad Max post-virus societal meltdown?

                        It seems the solution to any problem is to Buy More Guns.
                        Police departments are saying they are not responding to non-emergencies, including burglaries. So, it's up to you to protect yourself and your family.

                        Also, the government is letting criminals out of jail so they don't catch the virus. More criminals, scarce police.

                        And there are reports of criminals pretending to be the CDC knocking on doors saying they are doing random testing, and when you let them in, they rob you.

                          I didn't see anything in the CNN article about not responding to burglaries. I did see quotations about still responding to crimes in progress or threats to property.

                            It's simple. Cops are getting infected and having to self-quarantine, while crime is increasing for many reasons. In many places, the police will get overstretched and have to 'triage' for crimes.

                              Roy is an atheist, so I think it likely that he does not place trust in the Lord, seeing that as an absurdity. Christians are more likely to place trust in the Lord (its a common phrase for inspirational songs), yet feel the need to buy up guns.

                              If this is so bad as to necessitate arming ourselves, why was this administration so blind as to the dangers? Now it seems that corona virus is leading to societal breakdown.

                              Trusting the Lord is hollow if it needs backup.
