I know the stats say individual gun ownership is going down and the increased gun sales are because of people buying multiple weapons. I do wonder how many actual new gun owners will come out of this pandemic.
Don't need to buy anymore but still check guns and ammo sites here and there. There is no doubt there is a run on them.

The new figures indicate 3.7 million gun purchase background checks were conducted in the month of March alone, marking the greatest number of background checks conducted in a single month since the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) was launched in 1998.
By far, the state leading in federal firearm background checks numbers for the month of March was Illinois -- with over half a million background checks conducted -- followed by Texas, Kentucky, Florida, and California.
