NICS online is dead in the water...

[DadSmith]

I always went to ups store had my finger prints done.

NICS down, LEO agencies ceasing processing gun paperwork, gun stores being shut down as non-essential, millions of people placed under house arrest, and all supposedly caused by a highly contagious virus that appeared overnight and swept the world in days.

I am really, really trying to accept that this is a natural occurrence.

I'm with you on that thought.

I bought an AR Thursday afternoon. Showed LTC, filled out form, handed over credit card, done. LGS clerk said only problem was finding an English-language 4473 because they were selling so many guns. I didn't know they came in different languages but apparently they do.

You may not believe in the virus but the virus believes in you.

Just noticed article that says the Governor of Illinois has designated gun and ammo stores as essential and exempt from shutdown. Golly.

Whoa. Who’s on house arrest? Hadn’t heard about any of that.

I’d agree with you on the not being a natural occurrence, I don’t even see the need to try to accept that it might be.

Some moron in, I think Tennessee, who was diagnosed with it and refused to self quarantine is literally being held prisoner in his house by the cops... and rightfully so, IMO.

That's the only "house arrest" I know of.

I live in the People's Republik Of Karmel under Commissar Brainard. We are under house arrest.

Drove by the LGS Saturday morning and they had a dozen people in line outside waiting for it to open.

...I am glad I am not in the market. Might change when I get my "virus check" haha!

Well it’s a sellers market so if you plan to die a good time to sell some guns to get some cash for your burial.

Sell high, bury low.

If the President had any genuine leadership in his soul, he would announce an emergency suspension of the NICS system and an automatic approval of all gun transfers in light of government bureaucracy and incompetence coming between Americans and their god-given and constitutionally protected right to defend themselves and their families in a national crisis.

Instead, I suspect in the next week or two the White House will push out an executive order closing all FFLs, canceling and closing NICS, and criminalizing private transfers for the duration of the "emergency". Because, you know, the farm animals can't be trusted when they're panicky.

LOL
If Mis informed /Under educated people read the last paragraph in this post it will send even more people into the panic buying mode

To late they are already panic buying.

What's the old saying. **** poor planning on your part does not create an emergency on our part.

It’s all a devious plan by the toilet paper companies to increase profit margins, but don’t worry, the tinfoil companies aren’t involved.

Uhhhhh....NO!!! I have a problem with child molesters, murders & rapists having guns. There are crimes where you can never repay your debt to society.

OK but in the end who put this idiot in power. Who.

I do not figure you did but man look around at who did.

Truth. Much truth.

Sure, it's totally natural unless you believe stories about it being either a chinese bio-warfare "work accident" or chinese propaganda that DoD created CV and sent it to china.
Having said that, what's-his-face former clinton cabinet member/chicago mayor said "never let a crisis go to waste"

Then execute them.

My lgs is shutting down. Said they can't get anything in right now and are out of stock. They said they will call people who have orders coming in and they would get our firearms to us as soon as they are delivered to them.

NICS system should be fine since the majority of gun shops will be shut down nationwide. Should be pretty quick I'd say by the end of the week anyway.

If you can't have a gun you shouldn't be free to run.

Tried buying a blank lower today from LGS and got a delay on NICS first time ever in 20 years. They said people who do not typically get delayed were being delayed and others who either are usually delayed or they think might get a delay are getting green lights. Not a huge deal but annoying luckily LGS is only 30 minutes down the road.

Didnt some big states put holds on gun buying. That should have freed up some capacity.
