Is this the arming of the Left?

I am a western hunter, living in a Blue state. Today feels a bit like a tipping point. When I was gearing up for this winter’s Deer and Elk season, I had a bunch of buddies who had all been anti gun ask me to take them out shooting and hunting “to learn.” Two years ago, I went hunting solo because nobody was interested.

Now, all of my feeds are flooded with folks saying they are going out buying guns (city, hunters, educators, even the friggin cesspool that is nextdoor).

I took a couple hours to go to my local range today and have some primer therapy. It has 10 indoor lanes and in the last three years of being a member, I had to wait for a lane once. Today, there were 20 people waiting in the lobby. It felt like the gym on Jan 1st. I drove out to BLM instead of waiting.

Were the layoffs and actions of the last 24hrs the wake up call that folks needed? You all seeing similar trends? I really want to go ask my local gun store how their sales are trending.
