They may get it yet

Saw this pop up in my Twitter timeline:




You know what else was notable about this past month of March, per NBC News?

Pandemic pushes U.S. gun sales to all-time high

Yes, I know. Schools were pretty much empty since the second week of March, thus no students susceptible to a mass shooter. But whenever there has been a school shooting, the focus of gun grabbers has been on the inanimate object (i.e. the firearm). So now that gun ownership has increased dramatically over the past month, why hasn't gun violence risen proportionally? Why it's almost as if it has more to do with the person in possession of a gun than the weapon itself.
