Unfortunately every time there is a mass shooting, gun sales spike. damookster Send a noteboard - 26/05/2022 09:26:09 PM

It’s in anticipation of stricter gun laws. People who already have plenty of guns load up on even more. Those considering buying their first gun, rush to do so while the window remains open.

Then nothing happens and sales slack off. Until the next incident.

And I completely agree that the ubiquity of guns contributes considerably to the amount of accidents and gun suicides.
