Full disclosure, I own a firearm. Just one pistol and I rarely shoot nowadays. I'm generally pro gun rights if it's reasonable. Anyway... I've overheard or directly spoken to many passionate gun owners during this past week. For the record, these are the ones who own 10 guns and always preach to you about having enough ammo because, "you never know?"
This crisis has somehow convinced them that the upcoming months will validate all their purchases and beliefs. These people I've spoken to genuinely believe we're going back to the wild west days and he who has the firepower survives. It's quite terrifying to me. I asked one girl why she's panicking and she told me her family is spread out and they aren't armed. That's her major concern atm. I asked her if she thought a war was coming and she said, well no but.... nevermind. We just need guns!
Be careful out there everyone.
