Why did they wait until now - Kung Flu isn’t the real threat. The democrat party is.

More and more people are starting to understand that there is one political party that can never move to its extreme agenda unless the people are totally disarmed.

I'd been drooling over a Mossberg Shockwave for months ever since my friendly gun shop owner showed me his personal one...not for sale. Its about useless for anything but personal protection, but it started to grow on me. A couple weeks ago I went in to have him order one for me. No good. Of the few of his suppliers he could actually get ahold of, none had any left. I told him I'd come back after this foolishness is over. I have other guns that will suffice.

That makes two categories in which Coronavirus exceeded Obama: Sold more guns and killed more jobs.

This group of lagging patriots need something to protect their hoards of toilet paper. When the food runs out that's when the real killing will start I'm referring to hunting in the wild of course.

I don’t care that some people waited until now. All I care about is that more Americans are armed - it’s a great thing! And since most leftists wouldn’t be caught dead being anywhere near a gun, most likely these are patriots supporting the gun industry.

Very reassuring, Just might indicate there is more mature patriots in our great nation than the CNN crowd would have us to believe . . . we did it once and we possibly could do it again, if that should become necessary.
Maybe the Japanese admiral who declined a land invasion after Pearl Harbor with the statement;" there's a rifle behind every blade of grass in the USA", was not as insane as his current behavior that day seemed to indicate!

When the craziness subsides and the Chinese Bat Wing virus has run its course, a lot of those first-time gun buyers are going to want to learn how to use their new guns and become proficient with them. I believe I’ll dust off my NRA instructor credentials and volunteer my time to help teach them. Once they acquire some basic skills, they’ll discover what the rest of us already know: it’s fun.

#4, get a aiming laser if you get one, not a red dot sight, but the kind that projects a laser dot on the target.
Can't hit beyond 5 ft without it unless holding up to your face and actually aiming.....which is very hazardous to do. From the hip, you'll be surprised how hard it is to hit anything beyond five feet or so without an aiming laser.

#14, absolutely. Many advantages to a red or green laser. Really only one disadvantage of showing your position, but it is easy to turn on and off with the lightest squeeze. Crimson Trace is great.
