@Raden1942 - I totally agree with you. I can also see how this pandemic could strongly benefit the socialists and gun haters that support them. People are panicked and many that were not dependent on government are becoming very dependent for help. Socialism can only work when people are strongly dependent on government, so I fear what's to come.
The (dis)information is also abysmal at nearly all levels. Information is power - most people (sheeple) get their information from mainstream media and google. Something that I want to highlight is that I've worked in the tech industry for a couple of decades, and over this past 7-8 years, I have observed the "dumbing down" of internet search as this newest generation of programmers / engineers are building in their liberal values into most of their platforms. It has also become very difficult to find information on keywords / subjects that oppose their views or compete with their employers. Information is power, what ONE company has the most control over information? I'll give you a hint - #2 is
https://www.blacklistednews.com/article/76465/wikipedia-a-disinformation.html Now the majority of proponents of the 2nd amendment are getting up there in age. The newer generations aren't taught about life in America in times where we all knew where the closest fallout shelters were, and how none of us could have imagined the oppression of freedom that socialists / communists were imposing on their people, the secret police and authoritarianism. The "leading" tech companies in the information and media space do not hire anyone over 30. They openly age discriminate against those old enough to know better. You'll find that all of them are in bed with the gov. If this virus takes its toll on it he generations that remember what freedom meant, then our stocks will be down. Way down.
I'm not looking forward to the outcome. REI and the socialist liberal leaders in western WA have already made it near impossible for me to hunt or legally shoot less than an hour and a half away (140 miles round-trip + heavy traffic both ways). They lobbied for building hiking trails in every area outside of Seattle and all the way 2 hours into eastern WA, which is all now a "No shooting safety corridor". REI does not sell any sporting goods or equipment pertaining to hunting or shooting, and they back the liberals that have created the massive drug and homelessness problems here, known to their financiers as the "industrial homeless complex" (a billion dollar industry BTW).
So yeah, for the moment - this covid-19 poop hasn't made my current airgunning activities any worse, but I can only guess what the aftermath will bring. The gov told me that face masks do nothing to prevent infection. Then, they told me that hospital workers need those useless masks in the ER rooms across America. For those that have problems identifying the bogus media outlets, look back on those who were propagating that and the other lies the hardest. Disinformation can be hazardous to your health.
