Presumably the same sort of people who stripped the shelves of toilet paper.

Not all are doing it for that reason - the US have said that there will be little to no guns or ammunition being exported in the foreseeable future, so a lot of the ammunition sales are from current gun owners stocking up to last through this period. The local gun shop has said that ammunition may not be available for up to a year at the moment - they are completely out of everything and have been for weeks. New applications for guns is up by a long way though - I'm sure there are some bog roll hoarders out there getting ready.

I am waiting for Coles to reduce their prices to ALDI level now you have to pack your own stuff.

Methinks I will wait quite a while.

Anyway, yes scary!

It will get even scarier if they stop selling alcohol to these ruthless and toothless.

A good enough reason to try not to post doom and gloom in social media. A boys note. EDIT This is a marathon Guys. We are in the first mile. See it out to the end.

Yes, I do know alcohol and Covif go to different places, but its still an interesting thought.
