WA State voters: critical upcoming votes on I-594 and I-591 in November
My bet is, yah, more people are selling guns to gunshops, but these people were going to sell the guns anyways, they simply elected to sell to the shop instead of to a private party because they didn't know what they needed to do or just didn't want to deal with regard to private sales.
In other words, it seems doubtful any serious numbers are "getting rid of all their guns", but rather, it is changing *who* they are selling to as you might have predicted.
