I don't blame them if they are. But this is probably just the media fear mongering. We all know how much the media in the US is anti 2nd amendment.

I guess in the US its really dependent where you live, one state is as big as my hole country

Rumour is this is just the beginning of world war 3 and what we are seeing is the effect of bioterrorism weapon which got leaked out.

Yes and no. If the media is screaming that the sky is falling and that civilization is about to collapse, I bet the idea would pass through anyone's mind. More pragmatically, if you already have some and you think acquiring more might become difficult, you might stock up for that rainy day. But, while some of that is going on, there is no panic over it like there is over toilet paper.

Neo-2625ySo being a canadian i did the same.. but slight difference. Went to the store chose a gun paid for it. Clerck said i should have it in the next 6 to 9 months..

Root797705y@MrCSharp This.
While I'm sure it's happening somewhere, it's just more "omg guns bad" and fearmongering by the media. -

@Root a $14 box of 9mm costs $30 at my local gun shop. Not even gouging, just the price they can get it for. Should have seen my eyes light up when I walked into my big box store and they had over a dozen boxes on the shelf.
-
Root797704y@Stuxnet Yep. Everything is about double price now. Sold out in a lot of places here too.

@Root walked in and saw a rifle I was going to get at Christmas and went "fuck" because I knew I had to buy it or not get it lol
At least with all the first time owners, they're starting to realize how retarded some of the laws are. Hopefully it'll help spark some change. -
Root797704y@Stuxnet Sadly, the most vocal aren’t ever going to be gun owners, or even have an idea as to what the laws are. They just scream autistically about how anyone can buy a fully automatic assault rifle with incendiary heat-seeking bullets and have it delivered to their front door.
I’m not even exaggerating here.

Any U.S. Americans here who can confirm the stories about "U.S. Americans beginning to stock Up on guns and ammo"?
I mean it sounds plausible but it's surely mostly overblown by the media, right? RIGHT?!
