You fucking gun nuts are simply crazy.

Just what is needed, NEW to guns owners.

Trust me on this most who owned firearms before this crisis are stocked up already!

I personally see no need for the gun stores around here to be open. If you are that gun crazy you should have had that planned before they closed the stores. It isn't like there wasn't fair warning. I have a few guns. My pistols include a .22 semi-auto pistol and a .357 revolver. I have a 12 ga shotgun. The rest are rifles including a .357 lever action, a 6mm bolt action, a 10/22 and a couple other .22 rifles. Having multiple guns in the same caliber keeps ammo simple. I have enough ammo to get me by, which isn't a lot. Probably 10 boxes of .357, and 20 boxes of .22 LR. Aside from varmints and target shooting I rarely use them. I figure if I have to use up what I have for self defense I will probably be dead before I get my first box used up. Forgot to mention they are all locked up in a pretty heavy duty safe. Although most are family heirlooms, my granddaughter means more to me than the guns do.

Close the stores. Persons are much more likely to get into trouble with guns purchased at this point than get out of it.

The threats that an armed individual defending a house can cope with are pretty limited. Limited pretty much to individual criminals/crazies and *small* ad hoc groups of rioters. Any group of armed persons with a little training/experience will probably beat you. Basically, if you can't beat them without an assault rifle, you probably can't beat them with one either.

If you are contemplating the possibility of using a firearm inside your home for defense, you need to chose weapon and ammo load with extreme caution, due to the danger of over-penetration.
