Kind of reinforces the idea that people who buy guns tend to be more fearful than ‘the flock of the unarmed’.

You assume they are fearful. Mayhaps they simply like guns. (June 21, 2020 at 1:46 pm)BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote:(June 21, 2020 at 1:43 pm)onlinebiker Wrote: Army vet empties pistol. Noone injured. Maybe he was just getting an early start on the 4th of July....
You assume that those guns aren't being purchased by people who already have a closet full. It's a strange assumption, since we know that this is exactly how guns move in the us.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
In many places in America some dude is standing in front of a mirror and practicing his line.

Then why did the spikes in gun sales and background checks coincide with the COVID-19 measures? Could it possibly be because of the fantasy of hordes of post-apocalyptic looters running amok and trying to take your stuff? Yes, it’s an unsubstantiated conclusion, but not an unreasonable one. As to the parking lot shooter, the article says the vehicles were 10-15 feet apart, and he was walking towards the woman’s car. It seems like if he wanted to kill her and her daughter, he would have done so. Either way, it’s yet more good evidence that not everyone should be allowed firearms. Boru
