What happens to gun sales if Trump wins?

Posted on 10/27/2016 12:45:03 PM PDT by jdietz

I was just thinking that the current administration has driven the sale of firearms for the last 8 years. In fact Obama has been the greatest gun salesman in history.

If Hillary wins I expect this trend to continue. But what if Trump wins.

Any thoughts?

Well at least the people who bought them will have them. You never know when the next revolution might start.

Trump will do more for boating safety than any president in recent memory.

Heh.

"I doubt your scenario since IMO, very few BLM thug types ever wait in line at a gun store, and many probably wouldn't pass the background check"

You missed the point. Sales will continue because the BLM will raise a ruckus and continue attacking people. Non BLM members will buy the guns to protect themselves.

This is not going to be smooth sailing because the Democrats can't allow it to be.

Riots.
Combined with obama’s coming scorched earth.
Those who haven’t yet armed up will be scrambling to do so.

Sales will level off at first. Ammo prices and availability will stabilize but prices on AR15 & AK47 type rifles will be at their lowest prices ever.

Then President Trump will lift the Obama embargo on millions of M1 Garands and M1 carbines sitting in South Korea waiting to be shipped back to America since the end (truce?) of the Korean War.

This will create a huge buying frenzy as millions of Americans race to purchase these historical weapons and all the accessories (bayonets,etc.) that go with them.

Next he will rescind the various EOs of Bush, Clinton, BushII and Obama and once again allow the importation of Russian and Chinese military style rifles. Semi auto AKs, and inexpensive SKSs will once again be available.

This will create a second buying frenzy while the media gets hysterical and predicts the streets will be littered with so many bodies that end loaders will be required to clear the the streets.

That's my predication. Have your credit cards ready!

Be careful. Remember obama was elected TWICE. Prove you voted for Trump and then you qualify for a national ticket.

Is our nation truly ready to dismantle the Department Of Laundromats S.W.A.T. team in these perilous and unpredictable times?

"You missed the point."

Yes, I did miss the point. I read too fast and thought you were inferring the thugs would be buying guns. My bad.

A case is 50 of the clear boxes, 5000 rounds total ...

You can get a case on gunbroker ... but last time I looked they were well over $500 ...

Lots of surplus ammo from the EPA, USDA, VA, etc. hits the market.

IMO, there are some schools where the kids are emotionally incapable of handing a weapon.

Dangerous to those around them even with only one round in the chamber.
