Lol, THAT “stat” is potentially big. Potentially very big - from a number of potential perspectives - if properly leveraged.
The most obvious is the sheer volume. Realize, that’s the largest month EVAH...nearly 4 million and yes...there are probably more freeman to freeman.
Moreover, many obtaining firearms this late in the game are most likely first time firearm owners (who else is paying top dollar and standing in line for shit they were practically giving away 2 months ago...first timers). First timers, who are now truly aware that sometimes big-daddy Gov might not be there when you dial 911...they truly realized that they and their family just might be alone if first responders go down in a pandemic...with politicians letting even more bad guys loose on the street. This might be the very first time in their lives that the Second Amendment actually had some real meaning to them.
I hope that they remember that moment of realization - even if brief - come November 2020 and beyond.
Oh, I’ll bet that there’s also a lot of first time folks who’ll need a friend to take them to a range and show them the ropes.
That’s a lot of the precious middle we say we need/want to cultivate come election time...folks previously undecided or at least agnostic on an issue...who just made a decision.
We sure can reinforce the wisdom of that decision.
ETA: OH, and when this pandemic runs its course...there may be a huge opportunity to pick up some very lightly used weapons at discount prices.
