I do wonder though...for the "I've got mine, screw everyone else" crowd, how'd you get so prepared? How'd you know you needed to? Someone tell you? Did you get caught uprepared previously? There are a lot of people new to this life that maybe never had any guidance or any way to know these things happen. Hell, some people on here only found out recently that Walmart quit selling handgun ammo nearly a year ago. I have a hard time blaming people that don't know any better. Most all of us were one of those people at some point.
"People that don't know any better." Like all the previously anti-gun liberals who suddenly had the group epiphany that maybe, just maybe, with everything going, that they
needed to own a firearm? And were then totally shocked to find out that -- oh, my -- many states had actual waiting periods of 10 to 15 days -- and there was a butt-ton of intrusive government paperwork to fill out -- and that buying a firearm wasn't anywhere near as easy as the liberal media has portrayed, lo these past many years? And you couldn't buy a gun on the internet, no questions asked, and have it shipped to your front door? Oh, and that shooting a real gun just ain't as easy as the movies and television shows make it look? Oh, and then you got to feed the gun? It's sooo confusing! Why do they charge so much for this ammunition stuff anyway?
And all this occurs after guys like Beto O'Rourke say, "Hell yes, we're gonna take your AR-15s!"
There's a lot of people in this world who grow up never having any guidance or any way to know that "these things happen," yet they ultimately make out just fine. There's folks that take accountability for their own lives, learn the laws, keep an open mind, follow current events yet don't believe everything the MSM feeds them, learn responsibility and most importantly, pay attention. But then, some folks actually read and have some critical thinking skills.
I'm sorry, it's gotten difficult to feel sorry for anyone who can't be bothered to pay attention to the real (not the virtual world and what social media says is important), those who "follow" the "influencers," live in a bubble and can't start their day without their Starbucks $7.75 double blonde cocoa cloud macchiato, never felt it important to approach and open a conversation with us gun-owning rednecks, ask us some questions, learn some stuff, don't ever question what CNN or MSNBC is telling them (if they can ever understand it) ...
Too many people grow up nowadays and act like they've moved into a trailer park in south central Kansas and then are totally shocked that these tornado thingies occur ...
