Additionally, Everytown said sales between both April and March are up 60 percent over the same time in 2019.

...solution BUY GUNS. Cure all. WTF brain dead idiots. Are they learning how to grow and can vegetables? Overwhelming sites on-line ways of being thrifty. Reading up on how their parents/grands got through the Depression? Hell NO. Just buy a Big Mac, get a MAGA hat and grab ur gun. All problems solved.
