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?

Depends on whether the SJW’s decide that rioting is in order. The more violent they become, the faster guns sell.

Hopefully weapon and ammo costs have a chance to level off and drop a bit, making things more affordable!

Sales will briefly spike as libs will need a way to off themselves, but since most of them don’t have a clue what to do with a firearm, they’ll screw it up and render themselves vegetables.

Steep drop, particularly in AR-15 pattern rifles and sidearms, followed by a collapse in price (I hope I hope I hope) and a small bounce in a year or so as people snap up deals on the pieces they couldn’t grab earlier. I suspect that the drop won’t go all the way back down to pre-Obongo levels though. Trump can only serve two terms, after all. We all got a pretty good glimpse of the iron fist inside the Left’s glove this time around, so the need to stay armed is still fresh in most folks’ minds.

Speaking for myself, irrespective of who wins I plan to buy .22 handgun for my daughters to shoot and 12 gauge for yours truly.

Plus, obama bought 6 billion roands of ammunition. For practice. So, let’s practice.

Guns are like popcorn, once you start, you can’t stop.

Sales remain high.

Considered a Class III a few times over the years and decided I couldn't really afford that habit, even when reloading!

Yeah... I’d think there would be less gross weapons sales as the fear factor will be far less under Donald.

I’d see more room for private militia organizing, however. The gross number of weapons matters less, at some point, than the readiness of those who can use them.

Yes, if Trump wins, might be a good time to dump your gun stocks.
