    I missed the "PB" in your original post and thought that monthly rate was just for a trailer.

    I saw this last night. China is full of crap. They're still dealing with outbreaks like crazy and not telling anybody.

    They'll forget all about it a week later. Ammo's been scarce round here but we're always stocked up.

    OK undeleted...
    I was just saying to @Midwest Trucker that even gun haters may have no much choice but to get armed themselves. Nothing illogical on their part. I am myself not much fascinated by firearms but I'd rather be equipped than not.
    OK.

    Yep, trying to poach me. I usually get about one a quarter, so four in a week is awfully peculiar.

    It'd take a hell of a step up from where I'm at to pry me out of my current chair.

    So, these brokerages are either REALLY busy, or their agents are abandoning ship.

    In one of the videos the guy was saying (interpreted) that the police have moved in and set up check points for people going in and out and the people are fed up with it.

    If you look at the videos, the protesters are mostly younger men. The top brass in the communist party in China have to be concerned about what could be coming potentially.

    I suspect if the citizenry were adequately armed like they are in America, it would of been over a long time ago.

    Not trying to be falsely alarming, however, when our government starts going door to door with the National Guard to inquire as to whether or not someone in your house in Rhode Island might have just come from a "Quarantined State" like New York, and to enforce a mandatory 14 day quarantine of said individuals, we are on the cusp ourselves.

    So the situation in which you can't leave a state or a county may be potentially considered. The risk of us delivering into that potentially to be quarantined area is that we can be locked while being there too. That would be no fun. No wonder few want to go to NYC. I would not want to go there even during normal times.
    More surprising is that the rates of going there are still nothing special.

    Oh I definitely get it buddy. I’m just saying those of us that “cling to our guns” and feel like our 2nd amendment is constantly under attack, find it ironic that now those same people want to go buy guns and ammo.

    Not you specifically though man. I’m sure your much more understanding then “Hell yes we’re taking your AR15’s”.

    Edit: anyway moving on. Not trying to start a whole thing.
     
    TallJoe Thanks this.

    I've thought about Reginald Denny more than once the past couple of weeks.
