As a result f  the new Novel Coronavirus spreading in various countries of the world, the demand for  relevant goods such as face masks, hand sanitisers  and toilet paper has gone up remarkably and is causing shortage.

Interestingly, not only these things are in demand and  their availability at the stores is getting decreased in the  United States weapons  are also in high demand because the people have started making stock of weapons in their homes. Is it not something surprising to know that on the one hand people in United States Of America being getting crazy to see schools and offices closed so that further spread of the virus can be contained and hurrying to store the ration including the cleaning material they are also  purchasing the weapons in the same magnitude?!

The British Daily Guardian reported Larry Hate a weapons trader in Charlotte telling this interesting story that the spread of the virus has  caused increase in the weapon business as much as he had seen  six decades ago during the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012.

"The economy has dropped, epidemics, crime, politics, you have all gathered in one place and it is now," he said.

According to him,  majority  people wanted assault rifles and this showed they were worried about their and their family protection.

According to him, after weekly  holiday in California state, a long queue outside his arms store was seen which had also went viral on video twitter.
John Gore, a buyer there, told the Los Angeles Times, "Politicians and anti-gun people have long been saying that we do not need weapons, but now many are genuinely scared."

 "Yes", a buyer, John Gore told the Los Angeles Times, "Politicians and anti-armed people have long been saying that we do not need weapons but now many are genuinely scared."
According to an arms sales website,  sale of weapons has increased 68% from mid-February to early March. And this has happened first time after 2012. 

 This arms race has been going on for several weeks and Chinese citizens of the West Coast have purchased weapons due to their fear that they might become the target of ethnic violence as a result of the virus spreading from China to the world.

 According to David Liu, a gun shop owner in Southern California,.weapons sales have increased 5-fold over the past 2 weeks and now the suppliers have run out of stock.
He was reported in  Los Angeles Times saying "Weapons are selling like toilet paper"
