Interesting. I was under the impression that the gun industry was experiencing the "Trump Slump" due to folks being less concerned about confiscation and banning of AR-15s. For what it's worth I haven't purchased a gun since last year. Hoping to change that later this year.

I buy one or two guns a year. I’m in need of a new safe soon.
Ya might be right there.
I think I'm in REALLY good shape, no matter which way the winds blow!

I get the impression that Trump isn't very supportive of gun rights. Because of the bump stock thing. I think he's made other statements too. I can't immediately recall.
Because of that people may be buying more guns.
2A all the way!

then we have a few more states that dropped the PP BS and its just a Nics .. need to get that dropped now .. bad guys just steal them and sell them ..
I've said it before and I'll say it again, President Trump is merely a speed bump in the grand scheme. He is holding the fort down buying us time. With the constant flow of illegals.
Dependent upon how the 2020 election goes, November and December of 2020 may crush records. People have been relatively content and comfortable recently. We haven't had a major panic in awhile.
Oh just writing in a book back in 2000 that he supports assault weapons bans.. recently supporting taking guns without due process then "giving due process" bump stocks, talking about wanting to ban suppressors to name a few
He also likes Red Flag laws.
That's the no due process comment

I think it's the threat of not being able to get one that attracts people like my inlaws to go buy. My father inlaw, two brother inlaws and their wives all have applied and received their carry permits and bought their first pistols,,, these friggin people don't even own a .22 rimfire rifle !! they also seem to have no interest in shooting.. Then there's my accountant, a total democrat, Obama loving , Trump hating liberal.. yep he got his permit, bought some sort of pistol but he has no fucking idea how to shoot it, and is afraid to try. The last I knew he was offering to hire the guy that taught the pistol safety course to give him personal lessons..
The above seems to follow a pattern of the "new', liberal/socialist gun owners, who armed up after the DJT win!
These are the same fucking morons who think they are going to win in the civil war they are trying to get the "american Patriots' into. The think because they bought a gun, and a box of ammo, that they are ready to kick our asses!!!
Not to mention that for every 1 gun that they have, we probably have 10-20, our Wives, and Kids know how to use them to protect themselves, AND more importantly, ..... WE CAN SHOOT!!!
Just wait until these dumb fucks figure that part out!! Let the 'pants shitting' begin!!
Prophetic on both directions
So I had a guy I work with who moved from Brooklyn to Soutn Carolina and low and behold he buys a G17, then some Taurus piece of junk and finally talked him into building and AR(which meant for him buying a complete upper and lower).
he asked me the other day “Why do people keep buying if they might have to turn them in next year?”
I said because people won’t turn them in.
He then went on to say he was asking the same thing at his LGS and people were saying they would not turn them in and they are ready to use their guns if that happens.
I then said to him “I guess you have a choice to make if and when that happens.”
He didn’t quite know what to make of that.
