I have purchased more since the ban.
I have purchased more since the ban.
Collector of old junk
With COVID, I got rid of the more specialized calibres (6.5 CM, .300 BO) and concentrated on the commonly available and most versatile ones (.223, .308, 9mm, .22LR, 12 Ga). So in effect, I decided to have fewer guns (I sold after COVID pandemic started, but just before the ban) so I'm only keeping my most practical and my favourites. But I'm using that money to get more ammo, more reloading components, and to have the exact optics and accessories I wanted, so no compromises.
If I'm going to have fewer guns, I'm going to use them more and enjoy them more.
But that's just me.

__________________________
Buying habits haven’t really changed other than panic buying a couple cases of ammo. Also started reloading so if anything I’m spending more than before.
I used to buy quite a few firearms but since the Wuhan Flu started the only firearm I bought was a 8.5" Grizzly from you.
My buying habits have shifted to more parts and lots more ammo. A firearm is useless if you can't keep it fixed or fed once supply dries up. And supply IS drying up.
EDIT: plus a portion of what would be my usual firearms stuff budget has been going to the various legal challenges instead.

Less firearms but more parts... aftermarket sights and what not.
The pandemie made buying the anime stuff i usually spend all my money on impossible or really annoying/expensive to get , so now with that saved up money I can buy a new gun for the first time in years which is nice lol.
Buying more. Since my AR15 - AR10 and my M1A are grounded, purchased two bolt guns - one .308 and one .223. Also found a deal on a Savage 6.5-284 and went with that..got another deal on same model 6 BR and purchased it.
And last but not the least ..my BUL open gun arrived at Freedom Ventures..awaiting delivery...add bullets, brass And dies for the 6 mm and 6.5...definitely more buying this year..
I used to buy at least 2 or 3 rifles per month before COVID and gun ban but now is zero, not a single accessories or any gun related.
I bought a few expensive Japanese steel and collectable vehicles instead.
Shooting less, bought a preorder kit to convert an AR to bolt action.
Buying less, donating to the various challenges more.
