First-Time Buyers Explain Why Coronavirus Drove Them to Gun Stores in Record Numbers

Aaron Eaton learned how to shoot in the Army back in 2006 but holstered a pistol for the last time when he left in 2009 and took a job as a technician for a sewer company. That all changed on March 26 when the father of four walked out of an Alabama gun store with a Beretta 92FS, the same gun he handled as a military policeman at the height of the Iraq war.

"Simply put: I wanted peace of mind when it comes to the safety of my family," Eaton said.

  1. The problem is many of them will not become proficient with their new weapon. Range time is essential to good marksmanship.

  2. Jesus on a pogo stick, I thought we were past this form of discrimination. C’mon, people, just because some looks different doesn’t mean they’re responsible

  3. What jumped out was "potential career backlash" if names were listed.

  7. Aw, c'mon, people, just say it. Its the same fear on everyone's mind that is driving the frenzy to lock and load:

    The D I V E R S I T Y.

    You know damned well it would take complete societal breakdown and imminent threat of starvation before Bill and Marge Whitebread next door would resort to B&E. By contrast, a few years back when the EBT cards stopped working due to a simple computer glitch, it took just FOUR HOURS for our more 'colorful' citizens to declare a looting free-for-all.

    And when the stores are gutted, your stash is next.

    1. Yup. And these lawless IQ-55 Iron-age Third Worlders--they must be, as they create the Third World wherever they go, no matter that some of them have been in North America for ten generations without either assimilating or learning better--have more rights than you. "Law enforcement" gives them every chance to avoid arrest because every time they arrest one they risk a lawsuit for "scriminations." Judges give them a slap on the wrist and allow them to plea bargain murder down to assault and armed robbery down to disorderly conduct, day after day after day after day after day. They hate you and want you out of the universe. They say so and they are acting on it. Our rulers bring them in to exterminate and replace us and smirk about it on TV and call it "the browning of America," then, when we notice, call it a "conspiracy theory."
