Metro, the crisis has passed and that the rest of the country needs to get back to work. I largely agree with this, although I freely admit that I could be wrong. We will soon see if this position is correct.<br /><br />Regarding panic buyers, that is why I stated that we gun owners need to make a concentrated effort to welcome these new people into our community so that they feel they made the right decision. If we ignore them, or mock them for panic buying, then they are far more likely to sell those guns and embrace gun control. It's therefore incumbent upon us to help create the world we want to inhabit.

...Anything odd about these demonstrations going on?<br /><br />Well....they appear to be in states with Democratic governors. <br /><br />All of them. So, it is a bit odd.<br />Bigus Macushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072682364225560745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138198635601292326.post-51852868502199568882020-05-02T01:01:28.155-04:002020-05-02T01:01:28.155-04:00I'm not certain that the crisis has passed yet...I'm not certain that the crisis has passed yet, and am quite concerned about what will happen if we try to get back to normal too soon. It doesn't seem to me that testing has been sufficient to even determine where we are. <br /><br />I completely agree that prepping has been normalized, and I think my family will be an easier sell to have more shelter in place supplies, and maybe even a get home bag or bug out bag. <br /><br />I think it's too soon to tell whether gun ownership has moved towards normalization. I hope so, but wonder what the reaction will be from the panic buyers after things do go back to normal.<br /><br />I think all of your points are very good, and the start of good discussion.Skydaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946676952669970921noreply@blogger.com
