"The jump has no precedent in recorded history..." is how one analyst described the stunning surge in estimated firearm sales indicated by data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System latest report. While actual gun purchases aren’t tracked in the U.S., the FBI system is largely considered a proxy for sales by the firearms industry and the table shows a 41% surge year-over-year (and a 33% spike month-over-month). Jurgen Brauer, chief economist at Small Arms Analytics, told Bloomberg News, that handgun sales increased 91.1% year-over-year, per Brauer’s analysis, and long-gun sales were up 73.6%. We expect continued positive headline growth numbers in coming months as Covid-19 uncertainty lingers,” Brett Andress, a firearms industry analyst at KeyBank Capital, wrote in a note on Wednesday afternoon, according to Bloomberg. What does that look like? The last time demand for protection even came close to this was the last three months of 2015 as a spate of mass shootings in the US put tougher gun controls back in the national spotlight. The motivation for this sudden surge is evidently a concern that the current (and expanding) lockdown being enforced across The Land of The Free is rapidly transformed into a far more tyrannical control over Americans' constitutional rights. “The government is trying to do everything it can to keep society intact. But if society is unraveling, it’s up to us to protect ourselves,” said Andrew Dominguez, 36, a real estate agent in Pacifica who waited near the end of the slow-moving line to buy ammo for his shotgun. John Chen, 40, agreed. He lives in Oakland but has construction outlets around the Bay Area, including in Pacifica. He was at City Arms to buy his first pistol for personal defense. “This virus gave me the motivation,” Chen said. “I’ve always wanted to have a gun, but I’ve been lazy. I see the news now, and the outbreak and the chaos.” Jackson Lu, 24, came bounding out of the gun store, carrying a new $500 Glock 19 in its black plastic case. He wasn’t about to open it to show it off, though. “I feel like there’s a lot of crazy stuff happening around the world,” he said. “I want to feel safe.” Don't think it could happen? As a reminder, just last week, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva attempted to shutdown all gun stores (on the basis of safety concerns). However, facing a lawsuit over his controversial decision, he has now changed his mind, citing a federal ruling that gun stores are considered “essential.” The post-COVID-19 future is looking grim: economic collapse, censorship, production control, soaring surveillance, and increasingly martial law. So which dystopian future are we headed for? It’s not like we weren’t warned humanity was heading south, however, and there’s a lot more doomsaying to explore beyond Orwell and Huxley...and, as Helen Boyniski notes, our curious historical moment owes just as much to some lesser-known nightmare futures, and since we’re all stuck indoors under coronavirus quarantine, we might as well get familiar with the ins and outs of some of these lesser-known dystopias. At the very least, it will prepare us for what might be in store post-pandemic. As we detailed earlier, it's only matter of time before this lockdown of American - leaving citizens jobless, broke, and without options - become the flashpoint that leads to an explosion of civil unrest and violent crime. Poster Comment: Helicopter Money will be the final blow. Notice that even the Chinese are arming up. In SF almost Chinese people assaulted were victims of black criminals. America already has enough guns for war at home. The spark will be the 50% paycut coming in 2021 or 2022.

They've imprisoned us in our homes and put our jobs and entire economy on ice, and $1200 is supposed to make us feel we've made it to Candy Land.

I am preparing to watch this country explode from within. When the people find out how badly they have been lied to by the media and how badly they have been fucked by the powers that be, one of two things is going to happen. A peaceful revolt by non compliance or... a violent revolt that sends media and political alike to the morgue. Bankers, CEOs, the uber wealthy will die violently at the hands of the great unwashed masses. Meanwhile in my compound, I will watch everything fall apart from my back porch and make sure not to reenter society for at least 2 years.

This stimulus is designed to get us closer to election day without Nationwide Riots. Politicians do not think long term. The Civil War, if it happens, will be in 2021 or 2022 when the US Dollar collapses from all this Helicopter Money.

and if an election does or doesn't happen nothing will change, go ahead waste your vote cast it! Not wasted on Trump. He is changing the judiciary. And he is appointing better people to the spy agencies. Better in he since that they would support Us vs Them when the Civil War starts.

Trump changed the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (the most liberal appeals court) so much that a recent decision was more conservative in nature than any in the last 50 years. Trump has always displayed himself as a man of the people. The image he presented compared to Hidabeast was no comparison at all since I know well of the corruption of the Clinton Crime Cult. Trump is one of the few to lose the popular vote and win the Electoral College. I thank God every day for the wisdom of the Founders. ;) I missed the primary here but I will not miss the general election. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one."

Greg Key of Hoss Tools dropped by a small, local gun shop. They told him they had a rush of orders since the coronavirus hit the news. They now have 187,000 orders. Garden and seed supply stores also are back ordered. Johnny's seeds has stopped taking all orders except for commercial enterprises.

Honestly I love it. The communist crackdown is a windfall for some politically incorrect businesses! _____________________________________________________________ USA! USA! USA!

Let's hope so. JFK fired Allen Dulles. Dulles sat on the Warren commission. They rubber stamped a report that said Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
