It's a combination of things imo. It's what you said, some people were anticipating social unrest from the BLM protests and 1/6 events, the runaway inflation, and the worsening state of the world due to rise of authoritarian governments and global warming impacts.

Happened with Obama and is happening now with Biden (building on the things you listed). Even if the reaction isn't 100% founded on anything real, as democrats tend to want to control gun sales more than republicans.
