The media coverage for a few weeks before lockdown orders caused those with "a lick of sense" to gather supplies. Even now, trips to the supermarket are permissible, and what is on the shelves now satisfies the needs of most people. For most things, if the exact item that a customer wants isn't there, a reasonable substitute is usually available.<br /><br />While long lines have appeared at gun shops in many places, most people who wanted to buy firearms during the pandemic have been able to do so. If the Smith & Wesson revolver they wanted was out of stock, they could buy a Ruger, and vice versa. If they couldn't buy a Mossberg shotgun, they could buy a Remington, etc. This will be the "lesson" they remember.<br /><br />For the next disaster, however, one that may not accompanied with a heads-up in the media for a month, a week, or even a day, wannabe firearm owners in states with waiting periods will be SOL, and governors and mayors may be even more aggressive in trying to shut down firearms purchases altogether.Survivormann99https://www.blogger.com/profile/07446145435315604776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-74365109687165147632020-05-06T10:28:13.238-05:002020-05-06T10:28:13.238-05:00Yep, here we go again...
