I saw the madness today.... lots of guns flying off the shelves, lots of first time gun buyers and owners to be sure.

Taurus was flying off the shelves today with some slightly more expensive, better made guns sitting untouched. My opinion is that first time buyers, as the OP suggested, were buying the cheapest guns that were available.

As the day wore on, I suspect that the average gun price increased as the bottom tier wasn't available.

One of the staffers also noted that they have had in excess of 30 people waiting to simply get into the store at most times.

Rifles were the slow movers with plenty of AR types still available.
