Of course that is not how it works, hence the word 'seems'. But that doesn't mean suddenly all gun owners are educated gun owners with realistic expectations, experience and training. It would be interesting if a spike in sales also came with a spike in training, range usage or gun safe sales. > I'm guessing you don't own any firearms and haven't had much exposure to them. You'd be guessing very wrongly.

>It would be interesting if a spike in sales also came with a spike in training, range usage or gun safe sales. Anecdotally, I'd say yes. The three ranges in closest proximity to me have hour long waits for lanes on weekends. Everywhere, dealers are consistently sold out of "beginner" type firearms: ruger mark iv's, 10/22s, sr22s, etc. It is a similar story with magazines for these types of firearms, and I doubt demand for these is being driven by existing gun owners (who likely already have them). I also happened to order a new safe recently, and every dealer in my metro area had zero inventory on hand. The best you can get is an order allocation, or buying one of the safes they already have on order with an expected delivery of 1-3mo. Part of this is certainly supply chain disruption, but I heard the same story over and over again that demand was through the roof.
