So I had a issue last night

my Brother had to calm me down. Not a Panic Attack but close to it.
I had the Philly News on and they show a video of people lining up outside of a GUN SHOP. WTF?
Will we all have to have guns to protect/steal our food? My brother suggested that I was over-reacting but that scene left me sick to my stomach all night.

He told my husband he’d better stock up on guns and ammunition. He was quite serious and has a stockpile of guns and ammo to last for quite a while. Guess we are SOL because we have no guns. But obviously the old man is expecting the looting and home invasions to start soon. So some of the nation is expecting the worst out of their fellow citizens.

I thought we have a health crisis. The last I heard we have plenty of food and supplies ready to roll out to the stores. But maybe I missed something??

bought 4 cans of Wasp & Hornet spray that shoots about 20 feet.

I won't have a gun in my house, but I will take steps to be prudent. The level for rational thinking for some has deteriorated as this crisis has unwound, it would be less than wise to not acknowledge that is the case.

So that is comforting for when the marauding hordes come up our drive way.

showed a number of gun shops with huge lines out the door and stating that their ammo stock had been completely cleared out.

It completely freaked me out. I don't know what the locations were, but its times like this when I am glad I live in Boston. I can't stand these fucking gun-humpers. There is really something seriously wrong with them.
