not an RCT so obviously can’t claim causality. If anything it’s probably bookings causing the eclipse
With the eclipse approaching in less than a week, over half of U.S. cities along the eclipse's path are fully booked for the night of April 7th according to data from @airdna

A bipartisan majority of Americans support universal background checks and gun licensing. A majority also supports an assault weapons ban, but support is more partisan
