You snooze you lose. All the panicky liberals have cleaned the shelves.
i dont know a single liberal who didnt own a gun that went out and bought a gun during all of this. i do know some centrist type people who were already into guns who immediately decided that was the most important commodity and went out and cleaned the shelves as best they could

Gun stores should pay Fox News a fee every time they show someone looting.
Conservative giving a house tour: “this is the room where I keep the guns I bought after Obama was elected. Now down here is the room where I got the guns after sandy hook. This is the Travon Martin collection, with a cute little nook over there. You can sit on the ammo boxes I got during Ferguson and have a nice breakfast. Now, we just finished this addition for 2020 and I’m already thinking I should have gone bigger. But hey, you can’t be too safe.”

The gun store has been full of weirdo first time buyers. I can't assume their affiliations but given their experience and questions I would wager they're liberals.
The goofball bunker people already have ammo to burn and fill up the range

Yeah the first time buyers are the weirdos, not the guy who is people watching at the gun store and sizing up 8 year old boys at the range

Those people should be forced to take range training so they don't start shooting family members accidentally. So your state you can walk in and never having touched a gun before walk out that day with a gun? Is there a cool off period? Or can I get fired from work and head straight to the gun shop? I'm kinda of pro gun control but seeing this shit now I kind of want one now too. Canada has so much red tape the riots will be long over by the time I have one, by then I probably won't even want one anymore

It's possible to be pro second ammendment(I know your Canadian and I get it doesn't apply, and I apologize because I really don't know of any Canadian equivilent myself) and for sensible federal legislation. I think guns are where a lot of liberals have got it wrong tbh. I do think that we need some sensible uniform federal legislation so that we're not operating on a state by state basis, but I think more accessible mental health care is waaaaay more important than gun control.
It's an issue that's very under my radar at this point as a liberal. I think that there needs to be some reform, and I think that we need more of an emphasis on responsible gun ownership..but there's more guns than people in this country, it's a very real part of our culture, and it's how some people literally feed their families, guns aren't going away anytime soon in this country.
I actually do wish I could get a gun for home defense(I would absolutely not carry out in public, and I have several reasons why), but medical marijuana patients aren't allowed to until it's federally legalized.

If you pass the background check you can walk out in an hour with a gun. Even a handgun

I wouldn't be very surprised if you didn't notice what's around you. The militant attitude about politics and your own opinions probably gets really in the way of situational awareness and mindfulness

Out of curiosity, how wide spread is mask use there?
Here people are pretty lax outdoors, but I haven't seen a single person inside anywhere without a mask on and while I don't know if it's state mandated, every single business is requiring it regardless. Our infection rates have continued trending down pretty dramatically, though I am going to have to check back in next weekend since we just moved from red to yellow on Friday. People seem to be doing a pretty okay job social distancing as well. It's not perfect, and there are some assholes who need to be told to wait a freaking second so the 85 year old woman up ahead can wipe down her fucking cart and do what she's gotta do...but overall, I feel safe in stores with this level of compliance.
Stores have been good for the few times I've gone out. The people in them.. ehhhhh maybe 50/50. Safeway has dedicated staff at the shopping carts and they wipe each one down before giving it to you. Full masks, etc etc. A lot of the smaller shops like the vape shop I use every now and then put up plastic shields over their counters.
I've gone full hermit mode since this started so I'm not the best to indicate outside compliance. No plans to change anytime soon either.

Tbh, I'm a pansy and I don't think I could ever hunt unless things got super bad and I needed to for sustenence, but I was gonna take a couple of classes and at least learn how to properly shoot and handle a gun. Seems like a good skill to have on hand . But this is not COVID or protest related(and omg I would never bring a gun to a protest), I've been planning on doing that for ages. At least when it's possible.

I'm guessing that in the coming weeks and months you're going to start seeing a lot more compliance with ppe and mask use as things start to get a little more intense for y'all . Hermit mode is not a bad way to be right now tbh. It took me a little while to figure out what I was comfortable with and what seemed to keep me uninfected, and now I'm really not scared at all in public, taking appropriate measures - but I wouldn't be comfortable going in stores if only 50% of people here were wearing masks.

It's been interesting seeing how, depending on the area and store -- how wildly the mask wearing differs.
Over where I live, the grocery stores I've been to, virtually every shopper is still wearing a mask.
However roughly an hour away where my parents live, the difference is stark. I went to a grocery store and a Walmart with my folks on my off week and it was almost as if the virus never happened, save a handful of people here and there still wearing masks. I would've guessed like 30% were still wearing masks. And social distancing was really just non-existent. The Walmart was especially absurdly packed. If one didn't know any better you woulda thought it was Christmas or something. It was that busy.

I’m actually very observant. I was questioning why a grown adult is hanging out at gun stores.
