I see gun sales coming in the future.

People have guns up to their eyeballs. Most people I know have at least half-a-dozen guns, some have dozens or even hundreds.

There’s a saturation point.

[SZonian]

Hmmm...been looking for a Ruger 10-22...will give this a little time to see how things shake out.

[smokingfrog]

The gun market is kind of saturated right now. There are probably a lot of newer and smaller manufacturers that won’t make it. Ruger will survive, and they’ve come out with some good new stuff in the last few years.

I see gun sales coming in the future.

I see them now. There are some incredible AR-15 sales right now. What was selling for over $2,000 two years ago can be had now for under $600.

If you ever wanted an AR, now is the time to buy.

[Joe Brower]

Buy low, sell high. Good time for a couple purchases to keep NIB for a rainy day.

Even centerfire ammo is getting back to normal prices and availability. Now if reloading components and 22lr would come back down to Earth...

[SolidRedState]

I plan on buying another 10-22 before the end of the year. Even though we still can’t find bulk 22 anywhere.

I could be way off, but I think Ruger being mostly the .22 king, the ammo shortage may have something to do with soft sales.

As far as saturation goes, I know I am not alone in making purchases regardless how many I already have.

You can never have too many guns or too much ammo.

Priceless:

As of this writing, Dan Burrows did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned stocks.

The writer is drooling from hoplophobia.

Complicating matters is that gun nuts have all the guns they need by now. America was already like an armed camp before the gun craze. Now it’s absolutely bristling with firearms, but the gunmakers continue to churn out new weapons into a decelerating market.

I dont think you can make such a blanket stmt w/o taking a broader look at the industry. Perhaps its just that folks are buying guns other than Ruger. Right off I cant think of anything Ruger makes that someone else does better.

[piytar]

Even with the decreased revenue, RGR has a P/E of 8.11 and makes money. Do fundamentals matter anymore? Not in the short term, but always in the long term IMHO.

/NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE, just my opinion

[niteowl77]

We have weaned ourselves away from .22LR - I personally haven't fired more than five rounds of .22LR in the last year - so I can accept that explanation from Ruger. Too bad they can't take up the 10/22 and Mark III slack by producing more of the SP101 "kit guns" which remain elusive.

I’ve heard good personal reviews on the Ruger American in .308. That’s one on my wish list.

[USMCPOP]

I have a 10/22 that was made maybe 1990, and a tube-fed Marlin 60 that was maybe 1985. I like both but the Marlin is sweet. Of course the CZ bolt action .22 is in another league ...

[Gritty]

Wait until after these elections are stolen and 0bola starts to implement his priorities through executive fiat. The sale of guns and ammo will begin again in earnest and the stock will skyrocket.

Buy guns and ammo now. There are only a few days or weeks left before the stampede starts.

[M Kehoe]

I hate to praise 0bama, but what can you say? He has been the best firearms and ammo salesman in history.
