Gun stores cannot keep inventory on their shelves. In 2020 America gained five million new gun owners. Restrictions have done nothing to curb demand. History tells us gun demand is proportional to threats of new restrictions...so oddly enough if you wanted to reduce demand, you would be better off reducing restrictions

Over 4.3 million guns were sold in January 2021. We are on track for another record year. Hard to tell how many were from people exempt from background checks, likely a few hundred thousand more.
