Nice try. The generation of gun sales is the result of gun buyers who are people who want guns. You're one of those. I am not one of those.
Yes, and the "wanting of guns" is increased by the notion that a unified/federal restriction is advocated. You are generating demand and creating gun buyers. It is not your intended consequence, it is your unintended consequence. It is also the single largest factor in gun sales growth. You are responsible for more gun buying than I am.

This has certainly been true in the USA, first with the Clinton/Brady Bill nonsense and more recently with the various things Obama has tried.
It might, of course, play out differently in other countries.
There may be some countries where the people are told the government will protect them from dangerous criminals and they say...
"Okay."
I don't go around thinking I will be protected from dangerous criminals by the government.
