The Trump Gun Slump

Gun Companies Hope Hunters and Target Shooters Will Bail Them Out of ‘Trump Slump’

"Fear doesn’t move AR-15s like it used to, and three big companies just reported a cumulative $111 million dip in sales."

They must hate Trump. Pays to have Obama in office. Imagine the money they would have made if Hitlery got in.

 

[Phauxtoe]

they need to focus their Lobbying on California and NY, we would all buy AR15s if we could get real ones!

its a market waiting for Freedom!

Here's to hoping this impacts prices of ammo in a downward direction.....

So I bought lowers for nothing?

Thats it. Im suing Obama.

How come gun prices haven't gone down if supply is high?

It's all a game! Last year's frenzy should be considered an anomaly, but the NCIS checks are still above this time year before... And even today is only down 10-15%... We can certainly attribute a so called sales slump to unrealistic sales projections/expectations!

1.7 million checks last month... Yeah slump my ass!

It's been slowly going down. I just bought 1k of Blazer Brass for $180. A couple of years ago, it was $50 more. I also bought 1k of my carry load for $400. This time last year, it was $500.

I've been shopping the sales and stocking up. I'm even adding more guns to the safe as prices go lower. Remember, the pendulum is going to swing back in the other direction. It's not a matter of if, but when.

I concur. I have not seen any mayor drop on gun prices yet but ammo is much more affordable if you compare prices from pre Nov 8.

Buying more guns and ammo now that prices are falling (especially ammo prices but some guns have gone down in price as well), even to the point of stockpiling guns & ammo, would be the logical and sensible thing to do. Depending on a box or few of them to hold you over and then panic buying when a dem gets back into the White House would be lunacy. If you have not learned that during the terms of Clinton and Obama you need a fucking wake up call. I have purchased over $5,000 of firearms, ammo and accessories since Trump was elected. I plan to keep buying and hope ammo prices fall even more so I can buy it in earnest. There should not be a slump now that the political climate is what it is, there should be more buying now than ever under Obama.

Due to recent events here and abroad, I will continue to aquire what I can, when I can. No room for complacency.
