Commenter “Billy Bob” offers the following comment on the new surge in buying guns:
A friend who works at a large local gun store tells me that many of the new customers are liberals who are shocked to discover that legally purchasing a gun isn’t nearly as easy they had been led to believe.
Many actually believed the BS about being able to simply buy a gun online and have it shipped to their house.
My friend very much enjoys telling these people about waiting periods, background checks, and the unconscionable delay in getting a FOID card issued.
Schadenfreude can be a beautiful thing.
Why not give the store a promotion by naming it?
It is beautiful.
I prefer not to name the store, because they are known for having rather high prices, and I don’t really want to give them any free publicity.
Most of the gun people on this blog will know exactly what place I am talking about.
Chris Wallace is a lying clown.
The libs will need the guns to defend against the baboon mobs they’ve incited.
Everyone is buying guns because of the risk of domestic terrorism, and loonies like the Qanon commentators and authors here.
You’re armed (as you repeatedly remind anyone who will listen), you state conspiracy theories as the gospel truth, while at the same time rejecting the use of rational argument or scientific method that could confirm what is true or false.
That is a terrifying perfect storm for violence.
You very vocal morons are not just part of the problem, you are THE problem.
You are the aggressors that threaten our safety, our institutions, and our democracy.
There are not enough guns to protect us against the danger you bring into our community.
You should try switching to decaf.
