Hate to see free beer get away, eh? . But the offer appears to be limited to Minnesota adoptions. If you want to move to the great frozen north to score a case of beer - um ... been there, done that ... never going back

About the most idiotic thing I've ever read. Well, actually, no. I've already read this elsewhere, you are just repeating it like a good comrade.

You are entitled to your opinion. My opinion is the decision to own a firearm for defense of one's self and family. is a decision that needs to be made before a situation like we currently have. ......not panic and rush out, stand in a long line at a gun shop to buy a gun during a shelter in place situation, in a high population area. The gun shop in the picture in the gun shop in the news article, was located in Culver City, in LA County. I sometimes wonder if those who like to throw around the word "comrade" online when they don't like somebody's posting, actually have a understanding of what it means

My 3 months worth of beer might not match theirs

Most of the people hitting me up to buy or borrow are already "gun guys" just their wife or GF refused to let one in the house. Now it's "go time" and they have decided they may actually want him to have one a bit too late.

You really think bad guys will spare your dog? They'd just kill it, that's what they do. And if people lack meat or food in general for a long time, they'll eat others' dogs, lure them, etc, even in the culture where they're beloved pets, yes.

Well we’re not quite there. A gun is great to meet a violent action aimed at you. I doubt we’re gonna have Tulip Street homeowners raiding Peach road houses for meat potatoes and women. IF we get to the point where that happens we are no longer a country. Might as well call it United States Of Deathlands.
I don’t get the obsession with the world falling apart. Who really wants to live in a Mad Max live set?

Those aren’t gun guys. They're pistol whipped guys.

What exactly is the point of your posts linking crappy violent rock music about guns?

Maybe meat and potatoes. Not women, though, probably, since Peach Road is part of that Over 70 development.

More seriously, although California has gotten the press the same thing is happening in Maryland. People who were all in for more and more restrictions on firearms have decided they need one and discovered that the "common sense" laws for which they advocated have prevented their purchase.
