First came the panic buying of hand sanitizer. Then, people panic bought toilet paper. Now, food shelves are emptying and firearm and ammunition sales are through the roof. The COVID19 outbreak might be bad for the stock market, but it’s certainly been a boon for very specific sectors of the economy. The gun industry, used to such boom/bust cycles, knows how to respond – but other sectors might not be so acclimated.

At Omaha Outdoors, they’ve been inundated with inquiries from out-of-state folks – many from California – asking if they can ship them a gun directly. The answer is, of course, no. Despite what politicians and many in popular media claim, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped to your house. Well, you could, if you were a federally licensed firearm dealer (or federally licensed curio and relic collector) and your home was your place of business. Other than that, no, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped, especially across state lines, to your home.

What you’ll need to do to buy a gun from them is order it on our online store and select an FFL, a federally licensed firearm dealer, during the online checkout process. They ship the gun to the dealer near you – presuming the firearm and its accessories are legal in your area – and you visit the dealer to fill out the required ATF Form 4473 and undergo the federal and any applicable state background checks. Some states might require a waiting period

I'm still at a loss to hear anything from anyone on what Trump should have done to stop the stock market slide

The reason you haven't heard anything from anyone what Trump could have done about the stock market or coronavirus is there is nothing could have done about the stock market or the coronavirus. They all secretly believe Trump created the coronavirus and stock market plunge on orders from the Russians.

Whenever you see a Democrat or media talking head talk, you know beforehand that what they will say: everything that is bad is Trump's fault. That's just the lunatic Trump Derangement Syndrome at work. That's all you need to know.

[Jungle Rat]

You're a fool. If Trump took it seriously at the beginning instead of claiming its a democratic hoax and telling people it's ok to go to work it wouldn't be as bad.

Amazon Suspending All Shipments to Its Warehouses Other Than Medical Supplies and Household Staples Amid Coronavirus Crisis
-------------------------------------------------------------
Amazon is suspending all shipments of non-essential items to its warehouses as the coronavirus crisis gets worse, according to a report by Business Insider. On Tuesday, the company announced that it is prioritizing medical supplies, household staples and other high-demand products for the global pandemic until April 5. This comes after a significant surge in orders during the recommended social-distancing period for many.

Amazon is reportedly blocking sellers from shipping products deemed non-essential to its warehouses for the next few weeks. The online retailer sent out an email to vendors on Tuesday, saying that it would only accept "high-demand products" due to the coronavirus crisis.

"We are temporarily prioritizing household staples, medical supplies, and other high-demand products coming into our fulfillment centers so that we can more quickly receive, restock and deliver these products to customers," the email read.

It is a serious issue, but the level of economic suicide the world is committing over this is fascinating.

[hedge]

I wish you would commit suicide over this, which would also be fascinating...

Also, sadly, it looks like Prof didn't die from the coronavirus...

[crotch]

This will no doubt be a blow to the fake news pushers here at TGP. I give the governor credit, even though he hates Trump, to be man enough to speak the truth. Wish a few here at the Pen were man enough to give Trump the credit he deserves. Would make for a more enjoyable place.

[Jungle Rat]

LOL! You are an idiot

[Jungle Rat]

People are going batshit crazy over this. It's fucking ridiculous.

[crotch]

Wow.....even Hedge's favorite Trump hating news channel is now giving Trump credit for being a great leader during this crisis.

[Jungle Rat]

Wow is right. 2 whole days of him not being an asshole. He's probably going through withdrawal. He knows when he's been whipped good.

[Jungle Rat]

These are the kind of morons crotch lives and dies by.

Ummm....

On April 15, 2009, the first infection was identified in California, according to the CDC, and less than two weeks later, on April 26, 2009, the Obama administration declared a public health emergency. The day before, on April 25, the World Health Organization had declared a public health emergency.

Dr. Richard Besser, then-acting director of the CDC, confirmed to the press on the day of the U.S. declaration that there were 20 cases of H1N1 in the U.S., and that “all of the individuals in this country who have been identified as cases have recovered.”

The same day — April 26 — the CDC began releasing antiviral drugs to treat the H1N1 flu, and two days later, the FDA approved a new CDC test for the disease, according to a CDC timeline on the pandemic.
