It is encouraging to see so many people trying to abide by the various suggestions for dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the suggestions is for stores to mete out some of their most popular products so more people can get the things they need instead of allowing the Hoard Pigs to selfishly take everything that they can stuff in a cart and then keep returning to get more.

These are the kind of people who haven’t yet fully developed mentally and see panic and selfishness as their guides in life. They even brag about it. Well, the Hoard Pigs are not just in grocery stores; they are everywhere including the gun stores. Unfortunately, some of the gun stores just stand by and let the Hoard Pigs take as much as they want.

I went into Cabela’s recently to get a couple of boxes of ammo and had trouble finding what I was looking for. That’s because the entire ammo shelves were barren. I was disheartened to find that Cabela’s (a store I used to feel had some class) was in no way even attempting to limit the amount of ammo a person could purchase. Therefore, there is now no ammo remaining for the normal people who buy only what they need, especially during the days of panic that we are living in now.

These Pigs are the kind of people that truly need to be regulated because they can’t control themselves. Hopefully, they will twist an ankle carrying all their ammo out to their little faded red quarter-ton pickups. If ever there was a time to temporarily regulate ammo and gun sales, it is now.
