You truncated my post. If this is so bad that it needs people to buy guns 'n ammo, then where was this administration?

Originally posted by simplicio View PostRoy 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.
Or are those "acceptable" backups, and it's only guns you have a problem with?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man

A lot of American men fantasise about being the Lone Ranger, who had two six shooters. That’s the whole deal.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell
“not all there” - you know who you are

Originally posted by seer View PostWhere is the administration in the UK, Spain, Italy etc... this pretty much caught everyone off guard.
Caught everyone off guard? Singapore and Taiwan modeled their approach on the information the got from China as well as lessons learned from the various epidemics we had during this century. Our HHS showed itself to be unfit for its task.
The Navy saw fit to fire Captain Crozier, who did not want the TR to become the Diamond Princess, but the head of the FDA or HHS are kept on.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostPolice departments are saying they are not responding to non-emergencies, including burglaries. So, it's up to you to protect yourself and your family.
It does mention "credit card fraud, theft, harassing phone calls, vandalism or vehicle tampering." What exactly are you going to do with your gun if your car has been vandalised or some-one telephones you? Shoot your car? Shoot your phone?
Apparently the surge of buying guns is because American society is (believed to be) so unstable that it descends into Mad Max World at the slightest provocation. Yet some of these same people think America is the best country in the world. Not unexpected, but thanks to everyone who confirmed it.Last edited by Roy; 04-03-2020, 05:28 AM.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.

It will be interesting to see the stats (if they aren't already out there) and just how many first time buyers there are in the numbers.
