An article from almost 4 years ago?? Or are you just trying to make the point that most countries struggle with arms restrictions over the years?

Oops! My bad. Just popped up on my feed and I didn’t check the date. In any case, it’s still a great example of the hard truth that criminals and terrorists don’t give two sh*ts about the gun laws that disarm the rest of us.

Mayor in New Orleans did the same and Massachusetts is not processing gun and permit applications.

Typical Democrats, the long bitch slap of the Federal Courts can’t come soon enough.

Anyway, more gun buying surges in Cali, this time at the open air sewer:

Gun sales surge amid coronavirus fears — and lockdown

Gun stores across the Bay Area did brisk business Tuesday, selling firearms and ammunition to customers rattled by the coronavirus pandemic and staying open in apparent defiance of the “shelter-in-place” order intended to slow the spread of disease.

Firearms dealers from Novato to Sunnyvale reported a spike in sales, and buyers in multiple cities waited in long lines that spilled out doors and into parking lots.

This is the most anti-gun region in the most anti-gun state.

Plus the buying isn't even confined to the Untied States:

COVID-19 outbreak sparks ‘explosion’ in sales for Canadian gun stores

COVID-19 outbreak sparks ‘explosion’ in sales for Canadian gun stores

‘I haven’t seen numbers like this in years,’ said Wes Winkel, the president of the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association.

I'm also guessing that there are big surges in countries with relatively liberal gun laws like Austria, Finland, Norway, Czech Republic, etc.

Interesting conversation with a Vietnam vet, served with the Marines. I asked him what his go-to weapon was there and he said it was his pump shotgun. I have two, a Mossberg 590 and Remington 870. Have to say, the Mossy is pretty handy.

Given that its not duck or deer season the only option left to explain the panic buying is Justin Trudeau.

My only shotgun is an ancient .410 bolt-action that I bought at a flea market. It has crusty powder all over the magazine and there is minor rust forming around the bolt.

I’m actually afraid of firing it, but I still picked up ammunition for it just in case the police get overwhelmed and civil order breaks down.

That’s how bad it is.

Coronavirus Fears Have Led To A Surge In U.S. Gun Sales

• Around 4 p.m. ET Monday, stocks for publicly-traded gun sellers American Outdoor Brands were up 5.46%, Sturm, Ruger & Co. had increased by 3.6% and Vista Outdoor had jumped by 7.86%, all while stocks on the broad market were dismal.
• Background checks for gun purchases through the FBI system totaled 2.8 million nationally in February, a 36% jump compared to the same month in 2019— it’s the largest year-over-year percentage spike since 2016.
• One Mesa, Arizona, gun store owner said he hasn’t seen sales this high since President Barack Obama was in office, and Kevin Lim, the owner of a tactical gear retailer told BuzzFeed News his sales have increased between 50% and 100%since the coronavirus outbreak started.
• According to reports, recent gun sale increases in Washington State and California included larger-than-usual numbers of Asian-American customers, some saying they were concerned about racist backlashover the pandemic, which is believed to have originated in China.
• Survival gear like military field rations, medical kits, ballistic body armor and tactical gear like flashlights, bulletproof vests and knives are also selling well.
• Lines at a Los Angeles-area gun shop appeared to rival even those at grocery stores over the weekend.

Key background: Economic and political instability tends to kick off periods of increased gun sales, Alex Horsman, Ammo.com marketing manager told USA Today. The online retailer itself has reported a 68% jump in sales.

It’s not just hand sanitizer and toilet paper that Americans are stocking up on— firearms are flying off the shelves.

This pansy-ass cries non-stop about the evil gunz and now he's having a heart attack because of the potential of millions of new gun owners caused by this pandemic.

GOOD.

Also, a salute to Canadian Gun Owners too:

Coronavirus: Firearms and ammo sales spike across Canada amid COVID-19, gun law fears

TORONTO — The COVID-19 outbreak coupled with fears about more restrictive gun legislation has fuelled a spike in firearm and ammunition sales, several dealers said this week.

Buyers, they say, are stocking up while they can — a development that has alarmed gun-control advocates.

“We are seeing a surge in sales,” said Ross Faulkner, owner of The Gun Dealer in McAdam, N.B., which bills itself Atlantic Canada’s largest firearms store.

Part of the "concern" I'm guessing is the pullback of some police departments regarding arrests for relatively minor offenses and keeping a lower profile in general to protect their officers.

Man, what a year.

LA County prevented their self-proclaimed Pro-2A sheriff from closing down gun stores.

Does anyone feel as though we really have entered a different reality?

Things are definitely wild:

-The Federal Government has declared, but not enforcing, a decree that states that firearm manufacturers, ranges, and stores are essential personnel.
-Idaho has passed constitutional carry.

-Cody Wilson, the 3D gun pioneer, is releasing 3D printed blueprints but only to those who have been vetted. Regardless of the fact that the plans have already been on the internet for years now.

-The Sheriff of LA County decided to close down gun stores again and he's getting sued to hell as well as looking to be fired by his county's own board of supervisors.

-Texas AG told local Governments that they can not shut down gun stores.

-Delaware has changed their mind and is allowing gun stores to remain open.

-Likewise for Pennsylvania.

-Same in Connecticut.

-Even my anti-gun state and anti-gun state governor is not shutting down gun stores.

Also the FGC-9, the world's first semi-auto 3D printed firearm that can be assembled by any layman anywhere, has been released (music is cringe inducing though):

Yep..Cops pulled back, it was mob rule. Same thing happened in Ferguson and Baltimore fairly recently.
