Looks like the right-wingers are finally taking this virus seriously, and it's not good news.

Someone from San Antonio just reported that there is a line for ammo.

I'm worried that they were slow to prepare and now they might use those weapons to make up the difference.

1. Oh hell, that is their "go-to" solution for EVERYTHING.

They are afraid someone is going to break into their house to steal their TP.
When will some gun-humpin Merican shoot someone over a case of toilet paper??

2. If they think they will win a gunfight with a virus, I can only say............

Somebody get them some beer. It might be a while before they see the whites of their enemies' eyes.

There will always be a Republican Party!

7. Oh, I think they are going into a Mad Max mentality

Ready to protect their homes and worldly possessions from the unruly masses roaming the earth, looking for food and medicine. The epic End Times battle!

3. Ammunition Sales Soar in Response to Coronavirus Panic

As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) hits the US, it's not just hand sanitizer and flu medications that are flying off the shelves. While Walmart and Target are running out of emergency essentials and "currently unavailable" is popping up on various Amazon searches, the rush to be prepared has also reached the ammunition industry.

Sales also varied by state, with North Carolina and Georgia coming in with the largest increase (179% and 169% respectively). These were closely followed by Pennsylvania (140%) and Texas (128%). Other states that saw a big boom are:

Florida: 76%
Illinois: 67%
New York: 48%
Ohio: 40%

I'm in North Carolina and live out in the country. I've noticed a lot of extra target shooting every day for the past couple weeks.

4. A bit busier at local sporting goods store friday - including a few 1st time "self defense shotgun"

purchasers.

Yep hoard all the TP u want - unless u have ammo, your shit ain't safe.

8. "unless u have ammo, your shit ain't safe"

Actually these people are far more scary than any virus.

9. Right? They are so worried about "the shit hit the fan" scenarios.

[PatSeg]

11. And they will probably be the ones causing it

They are so reactive and have been just itching to use all those weapons for a long time. They just long for an excuse to start shooting people.

5. It's like the GOP with tax cuts as the answer to everything

And, just like with tax cuts, it's off the mark and totally useless in this case.

6. Extra ammo for the kids to shoot while out of school? n/t

16. Not sure if this is funny or scary or....hey...may just be true.

10. Maybe they'll rapture themselves before they get the virus.

[Downtown Hound]

12. LOL. That's their answer for everything

They probably fantasize about shooting the virus.

14. These people are such fucking idiots.

I hope they all end up shooting each other.

15. Or worse. Now that the family has to self-quarantine, at some point their

kids will find their gun stash. This is not going to end well.
