You do realize that the vast majority of CA is red and moderate, right? It's just the big cities that are hardcore blue. And, believe it not, there is a lot of spin from the news, even pro-2a outlets. We have an opportunity here to reach a lot of fence-sitters and first-time gun buyers. We need to act on that and not throw them back out. To suggest otherwise is ridiculous as it hurts nobody but ourselves and the country moving forward.
I never said anything about "just" being fence-sitters. I said people sitting on the fence and fist time buyers are the major new buyers. From my experiences, reformation of any type is a process. If we, as the long-standing 2a community, throw up walls, we just drive them back to prior beliefs or worse, push them further out than they were before. Or, we could show them what we all see and believe, many of us growing up with these beliefs and memories. A hardcore anti-gunner will be tough to turn, but there will be some. It's that moderate group, the group that makes up the majority of America and that swings political votes in every single state, that we need to take seriously and welcome.
As a 2a community. We all know people that sit all over the spectrum of gun rights beliefs. Bring em in, invite them out to the range, teach what we know starting with safety. Basically, be a decent human being.
Me - I don't care if they have all sorts of issues acquiring firearms based on what they have always done. And then perhaps they will have learned their lesson and will come to the side of freedom. 
Oh, they absolutely need to go through legal channels like anyone else. If they voted in laws and politicians to strip them of their rights, then they get to deal with that, and rightfully so. The difference between the run on guns and ammo now versus in the past situations is that people are now finally seeing a firearm as a means of defense, not just for hunting like the mwdia has been pushing for the past 2 decades. People are seeing that their lives and the lives of their loved ones could be on the lime, both from the public and even our own government, which is something none of em ever wanted to believe.Cool. And the great thing about this country, despite how desperately these same people want to take away our Rights, is that we are still free to disagree. So by all means you welcome them with open arms.
And back to the topic at hand, if we don't open back up around the Easter time frame, I suspect that is when we will start to see gun prices start to shoot up.
