I think the panic buying is helping in the sense that legislators are seeing exactly how many people want to buy and own guns.

When I went to my LGS earlier today it was packed in there, a bunch of first time gun buyers were being shown various pistols by the staff and how to use them for self defense.

I saw more young (20-something) women in there today than I ever have before, and they all had their IDs out and were buying.
