Are you feeling sorry or laughing at the people standing in line for hours trying to buy a gun?
Just read an online article about New Yorker's driving hundreds of miles into the upstate to buy a gun... and they are mad as hell... according to the folks interviewed. "I tried all day yesterday to buy one online but can't - so I drove 4 hours to here" Another person, "We have a right to guns - but we cant buy them?" Another person, "Politician say its easy to get a gun.... I don't think they have ever actually tired"
Me? At first I wanted to laugh. Then I realized these are the next wave of gun owners. And they will be quite different from you and I. See, we've been owning guns 'just in case'. The people buying guns the past 30 days - they are looking down the barrel of a worst case scenario and dealing with onerous laws... delays that could mean life or death for their family. And they are pissed. I noticed Yahoo took the article down shortly after I read it.
These new owners are the ones who kicked back and thought, 'those new laws wont affect me - I've never been arrested'. I am not laughing. I think they need befriending. What do you think?
I went looking for a link. It was on Yahoo. Can't find it. Here is something like it from the weekend before. I usually don't quote HuffPost

I don't feel sorry or laugh, why would I ? I think the reality set in with a lot of people when this Corona thing started. The people (mostly democrats) who were never big on guns suddenly realized that if the SHTF they would have to rely on themselves and not the police for protection. I think a lot of democrats suddenly understood the true meaning of our constitution right, and how owning a weapon can bring one "piece of mind" when there is uncertainty and unrest in society.

I feel sorry for anyone that can't buy what they want. I think that this is a test marketing of socialism to see how people react to it. We are not reacting very well, unless of course you want to live in a socialist country.

I read a recent article about a shortage of ammo. It was not where I live as we had
plenty of ammo but that is changing. I suppose people believe that once folks are
out of work and no paycheck crime will become rampant. Hopefully that does not
happen but it is possible in some areas.

At first I found it as an "I told you so moment", but now looking further into it I see them as simply new gun owners, and if I knew any of these people would gladly teach them a thing or two about the intricacies of firearm ownership. I say we welcome them into the world of firearm ownership with open arms and friendly encouragement, instead of pointing and laughing.

I neither laugh nor feel sympathy. Some quickly touted the "Chicken Little" metaphor to laugh at gun crazies. A number contemplated gun ownership when Chicken medium came along and now that Chicken big (and getting bigger) is here...it`s too little too late.

Please link the article that you are citing. Wow quotes like that I would expect I’d still like a source.

The same thing happened in the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles. Libbies found out about all of that gun control they wanted the hard way.
