Yes, it might be better to have some such emergency stuff in place beforehand, but that doesn't mean that people don't have a need for it, or should be prevented from buying them last minute.
As much as it sucks, this situation could help open up a lot of people's eyes regarding gun rights, and make them see gun bans as the power grabs that they are.
I don't think it is like the masks etc. This is the first time in my over 50 years there were no masks at the hardware store, however EVERY day something happens here that could have had a better outcome if the victim was prepared to defend themselves.
I agree people should not be prevented from purchasing. I just don't know how on day one a new gun owner with zero instruction is going to fare.
