People panic buy guns. We panic buy toilet paper too. There isn't an increase in shooting or shitting when we panic buy.
Any potential increase in shootings based on increase of sales will be seen later. Seven years on average, when whatever easily concealable and financially attainable (for a criminal, with very little money) firearms begin to circulate as used guns for sale or trade. So, for example...a bunch of the cheap pistols people bought around sandy hook/obama redux are just now starting to show up in trace data.
However, to answer the opq - no one in your story shit themselves because people owned guns. They owned guns before the planned demonstration. People "shit themselves" when they heard that a bunch of people with guns had planned to converge on their ao, lol. I would too. If twitter blew up with "Errybody, get your rifles ands lets all meet at Nudgers, this tyranny wont stand, man!" - I wouldn't issue an order..... I'd be hiding in the woods with my kids.
