While I haven't see hard data as to how many of the panic buyers are new gun owners vs. existing owners I do suspect a large number are. I even suspect a few are new "closet" owners (especially among our local "liberal" community)
A few of my FB friends that are current/former military/LEO are reaching out via repeated public FB posts and offering to take these new owners to the range and teaching them about their new guns.
As a group, what do you think? Would you volunteer a weekend or two to show someone who had never owned but panic bought how to enjoy their new AR/AK?
This post is exactly to what I am referring to:

Perhaps someone with experience and local to him might offer to spend a couple hours showing the new owner what all the "buttons" do, how to clear a stoppage, safely swap mags, trigger discipline, range safety, proper maintenance, and what accessories that are worth while.
Perfect opportunity to grow a new shooter or a new "Fudd."
