The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence suggests that gun sales pose a greater long-term risk to Americans’ health than does the coronavirus.
Newsweek reported that Brady Campaign President Kris Brown spoke to the surge in first-time gun buyers witnessed during March 2020, warning of the danger she believes now exists because of guns being in many homes for the first time. She lamented that those guns will be in homes long after the coronavirus passes: “We will get a vaccine, we will get immunization for this [virus] in the longer term but there is no immunization for that gun that is now sitting in that person’s home.”
Brown went so far as to address people who are contemplating buying a first gun but have not yet done so, asking them to commit to storing the gun in a certain way or else forgoing the purchase altogether: “We are very concerned, especially with people feeling isolated and job loss being an issue. The suicide risk is very real, and the only antidote to any of those things is to make sure you are safely storing the gun or to reconsider the purchase.”
On April 1, 2020, Breitbart News reported that Michael Bloomberg-affiliated gun control groups Moms Demand Action and Everytown for Gun Safety urged governors around the country to “ignore” the Trump administration guidelines labeling gun stores “essential” businesses.
“It’s shameful and nonsensical that the Trump administration has decided to put gun dealers and manufacturers on the same level as police, first responders, hospital workers, and other Americans who are risking everything to save lives during this pandemic,” Everytown’s John Feinblatt said. “Governors should feel free to ignore this irresponsible advisory and do what’s best for their residents.”

The guns themselves are immunization against violent criminals. So much so that there is a declining number of pathogenic creeps every year.
A few bullets insure that no weak prosecutor or liberal judge will ever again turn them loose to infect society.
Who died and made this Kris Brown c-— God?
None of your business, Brady.

STFUB!
Lots of first time buyers in this wave.
I welcome them to the ranks of armed citizens.
The 2nd Amendment has more defenders, that’s what really dismays the gun grabbers.
So, gun and ammo sales skyrocket, and gun violence plummets.... Let’s see how this gets twisted.
The Brady Bunch has always been twisted. They were yelling and screaming back in the eighties.
More reasons to purchase more guns and ammo, folks. The leftists of the world will stop at nothing to stop you from being able to protect yourself.
JoMa
Everybody’s crawling out the woodwork to get their piece of attention. A result of disaster-envy I’m sure!
The coronavirus itself has been and is being used as rationale for turning loose any number of violent and anti-social thugs loose early, as THEY were an extremely vulnerable target for the coronavirus.
Same people demand abortion continue unabated.
Compare abortion deaths each year to gun deaths.
Flipping hypocridiots.
Mentally ill democrats with guns kill people
To the Brady bunch, Bull Shit, Bull Shit, And more Bull shit.
What the liberals, democrats, are currently doing openly online.
Your side, the liberals, via their activist terrorist organization, ANTIFA, are currently posting instructions on how to do home invasions and looting.
Fancy the hell out of that..
Bracy Bunch, Not once, ever, have I seen anyone from your organization denounce ANTIFA and their planned violent and potentially deadly attacks on peaceful Americans just because your side does not agree with their politics.
This is absolute proof of your active or at the very least tacit support of the ANTIFA terrorist organization and their violence, yet you would prevent honest, law abiding, background checked citizens of our nation from having the means to defend themselves against ANTIFA’s violence that to one degree or another you support?
The Brady bunch does not wish to protect law abiding US citizens from harm. By their actions their intent is to disarm the good guys while supporting/enabling the bad guys/terrorists ability to kill and maim those they do not politically agree with. It seems ANTIFA and the Brady Bunch share this goal.
Translation: The Constitution is a virus that needs to be eliminated.
All those people buying guns are going out and shooting their neighbors with their new guns.It’ll be in the headlines any day now.
I live in an old and fading neighborhood. Such hoods tend to have a large contingent of gun owners. Cars are opened at night sometimes but houses are left alone.
A lot of first time buyers out there. Most will be careful. Media will trumpet the few accidents.
Some new buyers will use the experience to reassess their anti-gun stance. A lot will continue their cognitive dissonance. They’re liberals after all.
All in all, this is a good thing. More self reliance and responsibility are good.
So when the Brady bunch starts a campaign to remove illegal fire arms from this Republic I’ll start to take them serious.
My guns are a vaccine that protects me and my family from thugs and home invaders.
