When people have confidence in the government’s ability and willingness to protect them, people do not stock up on toilet paper, bottled water, or bullets.
My Permit to Carry is up for renewal. Went to several stores for ammo to go practice. The shelves are bare. .38 Special, 9 mm, 10 mm . . . all the self-defense pistol rounds are gone.
Long gun is no better. .223 are gone. I suppose it could be urban terrorists stocking up for their assault rifles, getting ready to commit an atrocity; but that doesn’t explain why all the deer rifle rounds are gone. The .243, .308, 30-30, and shotgun slug shelves are empty, too.
Ignore the polls telling you how much everyone loves being locked down. Their shopping habits tell a different story.

I don’t like going all conspiratorial.
But if I did, I’d almost say that:
- The polling showing all the acceptance (and, shortly, the approval for the DFL’s positions) is to invoke the bandwagon effect, suppressing Republican turnout
- The state plans on pushing mail-in balloting to take advantage of the mass of fraudulent registrations around the state.
Someone prove me wrong.
