Something to bemoan might be the large numbers of firearms being purchased - but to do that, one would have to delve deeper into the numbers to see what is actually happening.
If the population was static, then, yes, it could be construed as troubling. But demographics change; For example, Millennials (who outnumber Baby Boomers) are entering adulthood; they were preceded by the (relatively) small cohort of Gen X, so just from a raw numbers standpoint, I would expect pretty much any product that young adults can purchase (that they couldn't purchase as youth) to see increased sales compared to ten years ago.
