Guns and Pandemics

I read somewhere libs are finding out that then can just go buy a gun and walk out of the store. That the laws they pushed is preventing them.

I’ll see if I can find that article.

Redstate is one article.

How does he know they’re liberals?

“They’re shocked to discover they can’t just walk out of the store with a gun.”

We’ve all heard about gun sales skyrocketing recently, but I hadn’t considered some of the tangential effects of the phenomenon until I spoke to my friend. Not only are many liberals suddenly learning to love their Second Amendment rights, many of them are finding out that the gun control narrative in this country — as repeated loudly and often by Hollywood and the mainstream media — is a complete lie.

They aren’t libs. They are middle of the roaders and first time buyers who never felt the need to get a gun and so are unfamiliar with the laws.

Tell us this one again, when public opinions polls show any drop in the large national majority that favors stricter gun laws.

We don’t vote on rights, remember?

“the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited” Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority in the Heller decision.

@conan

So libs aren’t buying guns?

Who knows? There’s no evidence of that happening in the OP.

In the real world, we just bought a couple of handguns right before the shutdown.

And you walked right out of the store with em too didn’t you?

No, 10 day wait as usual. No problem.

Not exactly surprising with Cities and States flushing felons out of custody and back onto the streets.

Gun purchases are individual.

Are they not releasing non-violent felons?

Guns sales are up 300% over the same time last year.

Some of those buyers are liberals. In November they will be voting for people who want to seize their new guns. Strange times.

Sigh, yes legally you are correct. I was entitled to pick mine up an entire 3 minutes before she could get hers.

Still, we regard them as ours, and she’s entitled to shoot mine whenever and however much she would like (unless it’s at me, but I don’t plan to give her any cause for that!) and I hers.

California is a community property state, but I don’t know how that relates to gun ownership, nor do I plan to find out.

Consistent behavior.

It doesn’t.

Meaning that the guns would not be included in a division of assets?

I don’t celebrate, but have a joyous Easter, sneaky.

Worthiness must be evaluated on an individual basis.

Maybe he hasn’t been following the news outside of certain outlets?

I thought it was pretty common knowledge at this point.

There would be no reason for conservatives to panic and run to a gun store. We’re already armed. Some of these people are liberals. No doubt about it.

Well, Cowboy Dan’s a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean
He drove the desert, fired his rifle in the sky
And says, “God if I have to die you will have to die”
Well, Cowboy Dan’s a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean
I didn’t move to the city, the city moved to me

An insignificant percentage.

Middle of the roaders.
