Gun stocks have plunged since the election of Donald Trump. What happened? Trump was endorsed by the National Rifle Association and was the clear favorite of white, rural, gun-loving America. But the stock prices for Sturm, Ruger (RGR) and Smith & Wesson (SWHC) have both dropped by more than 20% since Trump won.

She was so reviled by the industry that Ruger CEO Michael Fifer described her in August as "actively campaigning against the lawful commerce in arms."

Gun stocks are down because people are easing back off on Civil War II Defcon 6? Prozac stock is going to shoot up I predict. Those trannies/pajama boys are going to need a 4-8- year supply.

This time there is a run on paper shredders rather than guns.

If Hillary were to have won, stocks in antibiotics, water-purifying tablets, sticks to rub together to make fire and crossbows would have went through the roof.

We have a President that believes in the Second Amendment, is a NRA member and believes in the Constitution and doesn’t want it messed with...

For that reason, we don’t need to fear and worry about Martial Law or strays coming across our borders to harm us...like we have had the past eight years!!!

They quote people saying that Hillary Clinton was actively campaigning against the lawful commerce in arms.

The statement is made to appear as if it is false, but it is absolutely true.

There is a reason the old media is despised.

One of the few good things to come the Obama years - people have armed themselves to the teeth.

A lot of guns lost in all those canoe capsizings are being miraculously recovered from lake bottoms everywhere, amazingly intact and rust free.

For real: let’s see where the price of ammo in our favorite flavors goes. Especially that classic combat round, .22 lr.

Look, I bought 3 guns this year. I did my best, I can’t prop up the economy by myself.

I want one of these. It would work wonders for crowd control.
