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?

I’ve always had a jones for a classic Browning Hi-Power. Hell, maybe even a decent luger. Perhaps a celebratory purchase.

Actually, those still pop up every now and then-if you know where to look. But as expected, they do sell out fast so best jump on it when do you find it!

"That lasts about 2 weeks, then they will understand that Donald means business."

No it will be hard for Trump to do much about it especially in states controlled by Democrats. Presidents just can't send in the military because they feel like it at best he can send in the FBI but there isn't really enough to make a show of force in an area. Unless of course it gets to full blown riot status. But even then the Governors are supposed to request help. There will need to be a huge outcry for the FEDGOV to step in and quell the situation if it arises.

ARs need to be registered or converted at owners expense next year in California. Millions of people will be made felons. Also, you cannot buy or transfer an AR 15 after Dec 31st this year. They did it here. They effectively took away our property and violated the 2nd amendment as the AR 15 is like every other semi annual rifle. Just black and scary looking. Don’t know if Trump can do anything about it.

It goes up either way:

Sales of suppressors, no longer controlled, will skyrocket.

Since inflated prices would go down, I would purchase more firearms.

Amen on silencers. Having popular culture associate silencers with assassins is as stupid as West Side Story vilifying switchblades.

How retarded would it be associating car mufflers with “getaway cars” and requiring a $200 tax?

“Nice to see you’ve got nothing to hide, citizen.”

(car running) “I can’t HEAR you, officer.”

Get ur daughters a S&W M&P .22. It’s full size, fits the hand well and has all the features of a larger caliber handgun. I have one I use for training when I work with new shooters.

If Trump wins, I'll dredge the lake where they went overboard.

Then I'll buy a couple more 1911s, a few thousand more primers, bullets, and another 8 pounds of powder. Then go to the range to celebrate with my new fun guns. :-)

Sales will briefly spike as libs will need a way to off themselves . . . they’ll screw it up and render themselves vegetables.

Would anyone notice the change if they damaged their brains? How could a beginner hit such a small target, even at very close range?

Yeah, they’ll try to put bullets in clips and then attempt to jam them into a wheel gun.

One of Trump’s first orders should be to cancel all bans and restrictions on the importation of any guns or ammo which is legal for people to own.

If Trump wins....ONE Adcor Bear Elite + a nice new collar for my borzoi.

If Clinton wins....TWO Adcor Bear Elites. Either way, WE WIN!

Initially a drop in sales, but demand will pick back up when the democrats unleash their ferals.

Another of Trump’s early EO’s should be to order the destruction of all illegally-obtained records by the BATF, where they illegally copied down Form 4473 info, and declare anyone improperly in possession of such data shall be open to civil and criminal penalties for invasion of privacy.

One of the legislative suggestions I made to Jeff Knox was to make an import exception for up to 10 firearms per year per individual. No excise tax or import license required.
