US gun dealers say sales are exploding as Americans arm themselves with 'shotguns, handguns and AR-15s' amid panic over the coronavirus and Los Angeles and other cities classify stores as 'essential'

• US gun sellers say sales are way up as Americans rush to protect themselves from a possible coronavirus panic
• Buyers are purchasing guns and ammunition in the event they have to defend themselves from people who become desperate and unpredictable
• One seller says 'a lot of people are buying shotguns, handguns, AR-15 (semi-automatic rifles), everything,' and that she is now open seven days a week

'We have had about an 800 percent increase in sales,' said David Stone, owner of Dong's Guns, Ammo and Reloading in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who described the buying frenzy.

'A lot of people are buying shotguns, handguns, AR-15 (semi-automatic rifles), everything,' says Tiffany Teasdale, owner of Lynnwood Gun, describing the kinds of weapons she's sold since the uptick.

people will disagree but the 2nd amendment right to bear arms at least means you can keep peace if god forbid things went down the drain.

If shut down continues, it will cause massive job loss and proverty. Security situation will deteriorate. Therefore, it is not unusual to arm oneself to guard one's belongings as the 2nd amendment permits. For instance,

what I mean by peace is at least you can keep your loved ones safe! your property safe if everything goes to collapse.

I think Y2K was the original start of the "Prepper" scene.
I know a whole bunch of people who thought everything was going to hit the fan.
