Thursday gun musings

So, I see the FBI processed a record 3.7 million background checks for gun purchases in March - more than any month previously reported?

Why?

Gun shows are declared "essential" businesses under the federal government guidelines, which allows them to continue selling firearms.

Why?

The month of March included five of the top 10 days in the history of the National Instant Criminal Background System (NICS), started in 1998.

March was said to be the second-busiest month ever for gun sales - lagging only behind January 2013 when President Obama took office.

So, why so many in March?

Do the purchasers think they can kill a Coronavirus with a gun?

Huh?
