When it really happens: SHTF...

[Aragorn243]

Pennsylvania's background checks are up and down lately. It was a three hour wait the other day and a few times it has been completely shut down. They are having trouble keeping modern guns in stock. Local gun shop still has plenty of older stuff in there but basically very little in the way of "plastic" pistols, AR's, AK's, short shotguns, etc.

Your lucky for a three hour wait. On Friday NJ NICS was still working on last Saturday's.

They have completely stopped accepting new gun licence applications here. As it requires personal visits, which they are not willing to do. Renewals, and then variations [changes to existing one] are the only things they are doing. Plus many of the warrant-holders [sworn officer] who do still work in gun licencing - probably a small proportion these days - have been moved to ordinary police work. It took me weeks to get something out of them, and even then they got it wrong.

They can't do that in the US. Several governors tried but they got shot down real fast. 2nd Amendment right cannot be put aside for any state or local proclamation.

Some new numbers for everyone that I discovered yesterday just for an idea of how "severe" this virus really is. Average age of death in the US is 79 years. Life expectancy in the US is 79 years, coincidence? So 160,000 people have died from Covid (and really, we don't know if this is an accurate number or is greatly inflated which is suspected) with an average age of 79. 460,000 children disappear every year in the US and it really isn't talked about. Now I don't know the age breakdown, how many just ran away at age 17, etc but this is three times the number of Covid deaths and you would think (it is) more significant.

Covid deaths here are now just slightly over the daily average for the seasonal flu. 331 per day seasonal flu, 451 Covid, out of 7970 from all causes per day. Still don't know if this number has actually changed or numbers from one type of death were simply transferred to Covid.

Sad to hear it got Herman Cain.
Seemed to me (as far as it is possible to tell not having met him) he was a very genuine and honest man with a very optimistic and cheerful nature.
I will miss his take on current events.
May he rest in peace.
