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.

You have more faith in humanity than I do. Read through the latest happenings in the opioid lawsuits. They were openly pushing to create addicts. Even lied about the addictiveness of their product.
In the end they knew their actions would lead to the deaths of tens of thousands of individuals.
If they don't need mass shootings to generate sales, why does some of their marketing strategy center around those shootings?
