No surprise, I am deferring my next purchase. Also, excited to watch ammo prices come down and supply increase.

Investors may end up wrong here. If the left continues to protest and start to destroy property post-election, I can see a steady stream of new gun purchases.

What investors feel people will no longer will need guns? Ludicrous. I guess this is a good gun buying opportunity then.

War is still coming. I’d buy on the dip.

All that happened yesterday was an election. Wait until legislation turns into enforcement.

Ammo will get scarce again in a hurry.

Makes sense short term, as in huge sales before Supreme Court flipped under Clinton. Long term these companies would shrivel and die with no civilian sales.

5.56 ammo dropped around 70-100 dollars a thousand in the last few days.

Don’t know about you guys but I plan on celebrating with a new Trump special. Don’t know just what it is I am going to buy yet, but it will have to be Trump-like. In your face, non-compromising, direct, deadly, effective, nake no prisoners.
