Some I'm sure are fantasizing about this stuff; this virus and the potential ramifications are a prepper's wet dream.
But, I am sure there are many who are legitimately concerned. Unemployment is already ticking up quite a bit. The unemployment check (if you even qualify for it) isn't always enough to live on. People without other safety nets could get desperate.

Guns = The answer!
I doubt this would be considered normal except in America.
there's almost no chance it will.
As a society we are more likely to say "well old people, we gave it a shot, back to work everyone!" Than letting food run out.
Oh, well I agree on that. I think they'll need to give everyone at least $5000 but look at who the President is and who controls the senate. I expect us to get Trump Steaks or something stupid like that.
Unfounded fear? Lmao. You think businesses are only going to close for two weeks to stop the spread of a virus that has a two week incubation time? Literally entire industries are being forced to close down. What happens to workers in those companies? The businesses that AREN'T forced to close down have seen a massive loss in revenue. They're laying off workers. Who wants to go out in a time like this? Those workers that just got fired won't be able to afford rent, utilities, etc. The people who were relying on rent money to come in to pay THEIR bills won't be able to afford them either. The whole system is very fragile right now.
This is gonna affect them too. Unless they're too stupid to realize it.
If someone was killed over a fucking chicken sandwich then yes, I wouldn't be surprised.
People need to drop this irrational fear that food is going to run out. Nobody is going to show up at your door with a pistol to steal your eggs. You won't need to stand your ground. You won't need to shoot anybody with a gun to survive coronavirus. As statistics and data have shown us, the best way to improve your odds of receiving a bullet is to buy a gun yourself.
Edit: Nooo!
There really is a Simpsons gif for everything. Lol, fuck.
What is the average price of a gun anyway? The food and TP will be restocked and not end up as a supply issue likely. So if they run out of money, how is buying a gun an economically sound decision?
You are aware that there are reports this could last for 18 months and 20% unemployment?? I mean I'm hoping those are way off base but you can't fault people who are scared.
Yeah, they clearly lacked guns before, better stack some more. /s
My theory that zombies are a particularly american form of fantasy because they just want to use their preciously hoarded guns adds another element of proof.
So, in moments of crisis:

- Italians hoard pasta
- Australians hoard toilet paper
- Americans hoard weapons
Kinda feel like getting a gun simply cause everyone else is getting one. Don't even fear for my life more than usual.

Anyone know how the Canadian National Maple Syrup Reserve is holding up?
$200 to $300 for handguns and shotguns, cheaper if something like police reissue. $400+ for various rifles (what people might call an assault rifle).
of course you can go fancy and pay $1000 for a desert eagle so you can stop the covid-infected buffaloes
