    Except people aren’t buying and hoarding a specific type or brand of gun. They’re just buying tons of guns overall. So that doesn’t make sense. If they were only buying AR-15s or something, that argument would work, but it doesn’t track.

      They didn’t come for just a particular style of gun when they had the opportunity to come for guns. Look at New Orleans during Katrina, and you’ll be looking at the image that every person is picturing when they think of the government and its pursuit of guns.
