What does *don’t* mean? Did you mean to write simply: don’t? Was there something special about your *don’t*? |

Lol. People panicking about 12 guns. Hell, I legally own a grenade launcher.
As far as the OPs question, depending on your location, face to face sales may be illegal or, at the least, required to go through a FFL or gun dealer. |

Neat! But do you own anything other then inert training rounds, smoke, or flares?? |

Ah well then, if you do get one, first thing I would recommend is thug proofing it by taking that front sight off or filing that front site down until it's smooth with the barrel. That way it will be easier for you to remove when the thug takes it away from you and shoves it up your a$$ -- due to the fact that you have NO IDEA on how to deploy a gun in a defensive situation, nor how to conduct malfunction drills if it has a stoppage. Good luck fools. Perhaps you should step out of your echo chambers once in a while and see that the world is a cold, harsh and unforgiving place. If it gets that bad, you will all be meat for the beast. The real world is GOING TO EAT YOU ALIVE. |

How do you know any of that? I was raised by a father who grew up on a farm and thought everyone should own a gun, know how to use it and how to take it apart, clean it and put it back together. Your mind is a filthy, filthy place, PP. Disgusting inside there. |

I'm trying to educate you here. You better get it into your mindset that if things get as bad as what's being suggested, you will simply not comprehend the raw, brutal, third-world style violence that will occur before your eyes-- in an absolute flash. Daddy will not be there to tell you to "move" and "get off the X" when you lack the situational awareness to mitigate what's about to happen, or the tactics and training to adjust and counter -- to save your own life or the lives of your loved ones. I'm sorry but that's the unbridled truth. In NoVA and DC, you live in a place where the rule of law is razor thin. If it get's that bad, take a look around you, on your streets, your metro stops, the escalators where you step to the right to stay out of the way. You live in the land of wolves, and you're NOT a wolf. My advice: pray the rule of law upholds. |

Again, how do you know any of that? I was raised by wolves. A lot of us who have had less than perfect lives are well positioned, emotionally and psychologically, to succeed right about now. It takes a lot more than bluster and filthy words to make someone hard enough to survive a crisis and you sound full of stupid assumptions. You don't sound very savvy yourself, PP. |

Bwahaha. You need to step out of your bunker and breathe some fresh air. You sound almost psychotic. |

That will not help you. Pray. Pray the rule of law upholds and you can go back to your little sixty-eight square miles surrounded by reality. |

DP. This is what I thought until a virus that does essentially NOTHING in the grand scheme of infectious disease slaughtered the global economy and made it almost impossible to get basic staples. There were two weeks straight where I spent hours a day trying to find meat anywhere. And this virus kills almost nobody and is not very contagious (again, compared to other historic pandemics). This was enough to convince me that if things got even a little worse, just wait what will happen. Two weeks of no meat will turn into two months of no food. The dregs of society price gouging and getting into squabbles at Costco will turn into straight up looting and roving gangs. The point is not what might happen on the next few weeks. The point is what might happen the next time some fool eats a wild animal in a market in a third world hole in the ground and we have a REAL disease coming after us. You are foolish to pretend this couldn’t happen, or is even unlikely given what we now know about our clearly worthless governments and fellow man |

I agree, also, and I am not a member, nor do I support the NRA because they do more to hurt gun ownership than to help it in my opinion. As for Trump, he made my bumpstock illegal and I no longer can support him as he is also proving to be an antigun politician. As for owning guns, I own many, more than this persons admits to owning, and I will buy more, when I want, how I want......that is freedom and I still live in a free state. |

It takes 10 minutes at a Walmart that sells guns. |

The situation is really tough right now for purchasing a firearm. Many folks have done their own risk analysis and foresaw what might happen and then a massive run on firearms and ammunition took place. The time to purchase was two weeks ago. Now you either cannot purchase a firearm or there's little to no ammunition available. A firearm is the ultimate force multiplier, the perfect use case is for a woman cornered and forced to confront multiple male attackers. I feel for you and your concerns. That's why as a self-reliant individual and an American, I took the heavy obligation to protect myself and my family by owning firearms, and that's one of many reasons I support the 2nd Amendment and no gun control.
I hope this situation serves as a lesson to never depend on anyone but yourself to satisfy your safety needs. In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm: https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/justices-rule-police-do-not-have-a-constitutional-duty-to-protect.html. Please take care of yourselves and remember that voting has consequences. Protect your rights to defend yourself, always! |

To the question of why do you need more than one or two or three (or a dozen) firearms?
Many are specialized and fit a narrow need. Skeet shooting, sporting clays, quail hunting, turkey hunting, deer hunting, rimfire competitions, long range rifle competitions, cowboy action shooting competitions, self defense (need at least a shotgun, rifle and pistol), hand gun bullseye competitions, etc, the list goes one and fortunately I don't have to give a reason for what I own. I mean, why would anyone need more than a used jelly jar for a drinking utensil? Well, some folks like to have a different glass for water, white wine, red wine, sparkling wine, cognac, coffee, hot tea, iced tea, fruit juice, etc, I mean, why would anyone need more than a big ole cast iron skillet? It would really do just about anything, right? Why do you need multiple sauce pans, double boilers, different sized skillets, cake pans, bunt pans, etc? A fisherman could get by with one cane pole with a piece of line, a hook and a float but do you question why they have multiple types of poles, reels, baits? Gardening tools? One shovel should do. There are so many things in life that are like that. No reason to get bent out of shape over numbers when gun owners can really only use one at a time anyway.
