Went to Cabela’s today... What is going on??

**JediGuy** · 03-21-20, 14:49

The used gun room was stripped.

Entire shelves in the handgun section were empty, with lines and people waiting for their number to be called.

This place was dead barely more than a week ago.

People are crazy.

Maybe I’ll post that 1000 rounds of XM193 I just bought somewhere and see what happens if I ask for $750.

People aren’t crazy, they’re stupid.

I’m going to put down some money that this whole situations ends up helping out the solvency of welfare programs as well as Social Security.

I guess you are one of those people who have been living under a rock for the past few weeks.

Not really...but I guess perhaps a little.
Every Tom, Dishaun, and Harriet decides now they need a handgun for some reason?
I sorta understand toilet paper and food. But thinking that this necessitates firepower is a misreading of the situation.

Nobody could possibly be this oblivious to the current state of the nation and world right now.

Our governor recently extended the background check time in our state from 7 to 30 days, because so many people are buying. Temporarily, unless they extend it after 30 via another executive order.

These are crazy times, amigos...

I never have understood toilet paper, especially since it was getting wiped out before there were bare spots on the food shelves. Definitely putting the cart before the horse.

There seems to be a fairly even mix of concern over:

a) looters
b) the official response

to explain the small arms situation.

LMGS (local mega gun store) has been selling over 1000 per day. Lines 5-10 deep across 5 checkout stations. Back to 2008 times.

Staying 2 hrs after closing to get all the background checks done on the last customers.

Shotguns, pistols, ARs... Saw all types. And these are not typical gun folks.

And ammo by the shopping cart. Guy in front of me had 3 1k cases of 9mm at $14/50 in his buggy. $800 worth of 9mm after taxes.
