80% of new gun purchases?

In these times of panic, guns and ammo is flying off the shelves. Could and probably will be A LOT of new, inexperienced, gun owners. If you know friends and family in this category,  PLEASE assist them on proper and responsible gun ownership and handling.    All we need is a ton of NDs and accidental shootings to further make excuses for gun control. 


Just food for thought..

Always!  :thumbsup:

I don't know anyone who panic bought a gun.  Though many of my friends know me as "into guns", so I get asked to take people shooting, about new guns, etc from time to time.  Always happy to help. 

Some of my friends did buy some ammo in the past week, but they didn't buy up cases.

I was thinking the same thing. It's actually too late to get into gun ownership now. I recommend pepper spray at this point in time.

I don't know why you are so worried.  The state requires a safety course for purchasing a handgun.   :geekdanc:

Depending on the instructor, those classes may be canceled due to the risk of getting the disease.  So, no permit = no handgun.

A long gun is the next option. If they follow the Democratic soon-to-be Presidential nominee's advise, they'll buy a nice, safe double-barrel shotgun.   :thumbsup:

No need to worry.  The gov't has things well in hand.

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Howdy folks.

I bet these hypocrite liberals will try to find their own "loopholes" and get guns on the "black market" (it always exists in their minds).

Now they finally discover it is not so easy to buy a gun LOL.

In some cities they enacted 30 day periods for background checks (used to be 7 day limit) because of the huge volume.
