The 'Once Upon a Time in America' actor disagrees with Milano who criticizes the trend of buying guns in the United States during coronavirus pandemic.

AceShowbiz - Conservative actor James Woods fired back at Alyssa Milano over the recent surge in gun sales in the U.S.
The "Tempting Fate" actress, who is a vocal supporter of U.S. Presidential candidate Joe Biden, took to Twitter to lament the disturbing trend amid the coronavirus pandemic, writing, "Americans bought over 2 million firearms in March of 2020, over a million more than this time last year."
Suggesting Americans should shift their priorities amid the public health crisis, she added, "We have to keep each other safe by social distancing and washing our hands and not bringing dangerous firearms into our homes."
While Milano added the hashtag "#StopTheCoronavirusGunSurge," it seemed her point was lost on Woods, a Republican, who suggested some gun buyers may have safety concerns when planning weapons purchases.
"Thank you for the reminder," he wrote. "When the looting starts, always be prepared. Buy more ammo!"
Woods was suspended from Twitter last April 2019 over a post that read, "'If you try to kill the King, you better not miss. #HangThemAll," according to his girlfriend Sara Miller, who tweeted about the ban.
He subsequently stayed off the social media site for 10 months, but reactivated his account in February, and immediately started airing his right-wing views and raging at politicians from America's Democratic Party.
