Could it possibly be because of the fantasy of hordes of post-apocalyptic looters running amok and trying to take your stuff? Yes, it’s an unsubstantiated conclusion, but not an unreasonable one.
It's a conclusion favored by your bias.
Do you think it might have something to do with those $1200 cheques that Trump was tossing about like party favors?
And the fact that all the gun stores stayed open as "essential businesses" while so many other stores had closed?
Perhaps you are right about first time gun buyers. But most of the gun owners I know have bought something in the past couple months.
It's what disposable income is for.
