The business world can be a cruel place. People that shorted the housing market in 08 wanted to see people lose their homes. The manufacturers of fighter jets and military equipment want to see endless wars. Opiate makers want to see more addicts.

A leap too far, a Kevin Bacon degree of separation too much for me.
I'm pretty sure gun stores/companies/lobby/supporters are all for fear mongering re: Democrat in office, self defense against gang bangers etc. (include my all time favorite of a zombie apocalypse) and that provides them plenty of sales without hoping for a mass shooting because its good for business.
