Gun sales is something that never seems to go down. During Obama years people were buying guns because they were afraid they might impose more restrictions or ban them at any time, now during Trump era it's because the "civil war" is coming.

Happy to see people buying guns, the more "good guys" that have the guns the better.

And toilet paper sells were significant.... What is it about dumb primates that are obsessed with killing and a cleaned bum?

There's a sense among gun owners that they'll be banned, or no longer produced in the near future.

The same forward-thinking people who worried about a UN globalist takeover of the US.

Well, the globalist are working to undermine US global hegemony, and bring in UN forces, so they were right to be concerned.

They're also right to be concerned about our rights to self-defense. These are being eroded, as well.

If you don't have a firearm for self defense then go get one immediately. Before it's too late.

A typical harvest isn't happening this year.
The seeds weren't planted.
The livestock has mostly been slaughtered.

You need to be able to protect your family. Purchase a firearm if you don't have one. Get one with ammo that is in stock (practically everything is sold out), so you can use it.

The American Holodomor is coming this winter. Look it up if you haven't heard of it.

Honestly, I wish I could own a gun right now but over here in Canada, it would just invite more government and law enforcement interference into your life and that isn't particularly appealing

Do whatever it takes.

You're being disarmed for a reason. It needs to be opposed in every aspect.

Also, that Newfoundland attack was almost certainly a false flag Intel operation.

All the more reason to get a gun.

What happens if you make one instead of buying one?

A guy in Edmonton got arrested just recently for 3D printing a gun

guess that answers that.

That's very interesting, thank you for informing me.

And toilet paper sells were significant....

Oh yeah, people were going crazy about the toilet paper. Was anyone even running low on it to begin with?

[–]Wrang1er 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yes, it was sold out for a bit. Also jobs and businesses were lost.

Also jobs and businesses were lost.

Obviously

Yes, it was sold out for a bit.

Still seemed like a manufactured shortage as opposed to one where people were genuinely running out of toilet paper. Every toilet I've used in the past few months had toilet paper, just saying

I was running low because i usually do a costco run every few months to get a large pack.

All of a sudden there's a run in toilet paper and i can't get off work to go stand in line to get any.

It was a bit ridiculous. Like everyone needed to make sure they could wipe their ass for the next 9 months.

Like everyone needed to make sure they could wipe their ass for the next 9 months.

This is what I am saying, everybody collectively deciding to stockpile for months at a moment's notice creates an artificial demand and scarcity which makes otherwise cheap items increase in value
