      Two things: 1) you gotta go in-person to do paperwork to pick up a gun. Contrary to popular belief, the UPS person doesn't drop it at ur door, so not quarantine-compatible. 2) Coronavirus lives on steel for a long time. Ppl running out to the gun store are taking risks.https://twitter.com/StephenGutowski/status/1241044399112499200 …

      There's a ton of news in my latest piece about the Coronavirus & gun sales. Gun background checks up as much as 300% with wait times rising to WEEKS in worst cases. Gun stores and online dealers running out of stock. Industry promising more products soon. https://freebeacon.com/issues/craziest-i-have-ever-seen-it-coronavirus-strains-gun-industry-background-check-system/ …

      I have so many stories from my network of totally non-gun people running to the gun store recently. It's bananas. They're not even calling me first to find out what to buy. They're just in panic mode. One of the many recent things I never thought I'd actually see yet there it is.

      I hadn't thought of this but it's likely. This is what happened with the AR15 post-Newtown. A lot of older gun guys hated black rifles until they panic-bought one "just in case I change my mind", then they loved it & now are willing to Boogaloo over it.https://twitter.com/RickDJordan/status/1241049815745728513 …

      The more the merrier. People who actually own a gun typically don't like to be told that they shouldn't have it. Less voters for more gun control the next time that becomes the hot topic (and it always does).

      Quarantine pressure cooker plus widespread economic pain plus more new gun households? This will all be reflected in the statistics as a terrible uptick in domestic murders and suicides (rather than suicide attempts that don't result in a fatality).

          And I bet workplace violence and traffic fatalities are down. Of course if more people are home, more home things will happen. 2 days ago a neighbor decided to use his home time to repair his roof. Fell off and needed an ambulance. Wouldn't have happened if he was at the office.

          Suicides particularly if we have a lot more handgun owners :-(
