People line up to buy guns, ammo amid coronavirus concerns

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Ralph Charette, 71, said he bought a rifle and ammunition on Saturday to protect himself and his family as a wave of coronavirus panic sweeps across the country.

Charette, a military veteran, spent $1,500 at a gun shop in Germantown, Wisconsin, after encountering aggressive shoppers and empty shelves at local grocery stores.

Now, if looters come knocking, he'll be ready, he said.

"There's so much uncertainty and paranoia but you've got to protect your own," Charette said.

5. What would be considered "enough gunz" for them to be limited?????

Don't we already have, like 5 gunz in this country per person, including children and infants?????

7. Was just talking about that

I told my son that I have two guns, but no ammo. He said I should go buy some. I won't be doing that. I told him that if I have to kill someone to save my own life, then it's just time for me to check out. I live alone, and wouldn't be protecting anyone but myself.

I love the person that I am now, and I don't want to evolve into someone I can't love.
