This is one of those times where the bullshit anti's spread is seen exactly for what it is, when their own sheep are looking to buy guns and cant... pushing the anitgun agenda might just remind them why they are left so helpless and exposed... Better to just keep your mouth shut and not remind your own supporters who made them so vulnerable... when the dust clears and people dont see a need for the guns anymore, they will kick the BS in full gear. Hard to convince someone who wants a gun and cant get one that we need to pass more laws... yey, im sure the many liberals who went to get guns only to be turned away will forget about this all next year.. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"It's easier to buy a brand new car off the lot than to get this permit." 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M1152 713 Posted March 19, 2020 With regards to the shore Shot post above I don’t see a bunch of NJ Anti gun folks now making the transition over to gun owners just for this virus. I’m sure there were a few NJ Anti 2A people that may have abandoned their stance for the day and walked into a NJ LGS and thinking they’d walk out the same day with a firearm with little or no state paperwork and found it don’t work that way. As we know over in PA a different story for their residents and more likely to happen there. I was in Tanner’s one day a few years ago and saw one car in there parking lot with an Obama & NRA bumper stickers. I never figured that one out, guess you could have it both ways in PA. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raz-0 1,259 Posted March 19, 2020 I know there are at least a few unquestioning democrat faithful who are finding out what they voted for and that stuff doesn't work like their side claims. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had a few friends who think they're "gun guys" (they have a pistol in the house that's been fired once, but they have no ammo) ask me how they can 'stock up" on ammo "just in case", but my more liberal friends are still hunkered down and confident that the police will protect them.

Zeke 5,504 Posted March 19, 2020 I’ve had a few acquaintances ask me how to get guns recently. I don’t think staunchly anti will flip. But keep in mind the largest majority voting block in nj is unaffiliated. Maybe we get more eyes wide open ...

kc17 622 Posted March 19, 2020 Maybe we'll see "fire sales" on like new guns and excess ammo once this is all over. Same deal as we see with generators, snow blowers, etc... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot 358 Posted March 20, 2020 Commodity prices are the lowest since the 1970’s. China will start dumping on the the world in Q2/Q3 the backlog of raw materials they have. Ammo prices should come back down hopefully. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might have to wait until after the election as people tend to get nervous and drive prices up a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anything he will appreciate being a gun owner a lot more now. But he will still vote for a dooshe like Booker and Biden. Because , well my family always voted for democrats....and I am a moron that follows like sheep. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be sometime before Ammo prices return to normal. I strongly believe Trump will win big in 2020. After losing jobs and a lot of money in their 401K's and just the market in general people will vote for the man who wants to put America back to work. I saw the liberals and liberal news praying for a crash economy thinking that will take Trump out. I really believe the're wrong. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
