Surely it would be essential for you to go buy a gun at your local gun store, so that you can light up that mofo with your brand new Ar-15*. *accessories sold separately I would politely, but firmly remind the terrorist that in light of the current Coronavirus situation that he is required to maintain a social distance of at least two metres, before detonating his vest. I would also ask him (if it isn't too much trouble) if he could please stand in close proximity to a certain tree in my back yard that I've been wanting to take down... 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toews Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 1 minute ago, coastal.view said: well it does make some sense because the virus is an invisible killer and travels in pacts that can number millions so if you are forced to deal with an invisible enemy you have to factor in waste because you cannot have a 100% kill rate when you are shooting blind so clearly that may entail or require more weaponery and a substantially higher volume of ammo they should clearly be an essential service as a result but there should be perhaps a 5 gun limit on semi automatic gun purchases and 100,000 limit on bullets guns vs virus guns win every time (if you have enough ammo of course) The NRA should and would step in and challenge your draconian limits. What if an angry COVID-19 infected horde of Mexicans was trying to invade your home? Clearly no limits and no legislation is the answer, unless it is legislation that increases the purchase of guns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 We're all replying in somewhat tongue in cheek fashion about the gun story, but think about it for a minute.... The hardcore gun enthusiasts see this as an infringement on their God given right to purchase and own guns.....meanwhile the US is in the grip of an emergency, the likes of which it hasn't seen since WWII....people are hoarding....people are fighting over supplies...the divide between the haves and the have-nots is more pronounced....and the entire crisis is still viewed through an ultra partisan lens.... .....and some folks really want to go and by some guns in reaction....what could possibly go wrong? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the things that has always baffled me....I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of people lining up to by guns are already gun owners. They want more.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have questioned Dr. Bonnie and her soft spoken updates that, at times, were puppet/puppeteer for me. However, in seeing how things are progressing elsewhere in comparison to here I have to state that maybe, as people who are experts and/or being guided by them, they've been doing an excellent job. My initial "shut everything down" sounds great, except the logistics behind that just aren't so simple. And it seems to me, with each new "step" they take, it's been a well thought out process. I do feel they could have been stronger and quicker in a more proactive response...but also now understand the focus a bit more. That you can't "stop it" so measures were being put into place to adequately track and contain it. I have to give them credit, whether I like/believe them or not. They're doing a fantastic job. Because if they weren't stuff would really be hitting the fan right about now. We're managing to keep this at bay to some degree. Although time will tell, I want to think they've got a much better handle on things than I initially gave them credit for. Still not perfect, but this is a crisis that is unprecedented and they're navigating the waters pretty well. They've been confident and caring. It feels real to me...that they're trying their very best. YVR, however...not so much. My only concern is how accurate are the actual numbers? There's thousands of tests awaiting results and thousands of people who can't get tested. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
