Trump election lost jobs, But I'm happy about it

"..., Trump’s win has had the unintended consequence of throwing the firearms industry into a deep slump, forcing major companies to lay off workers, driving prices deep into the red, and forcing some gun dealers out of business. While the Obama years might have been a dark time for gun rights, the Democrat president was a boon for gun retailers and manufacturers (a fact Obama has admitted himself). Each time the needle ticked further in the direction of gun restriction, Americans flocked to their local gun store and plunked down cash for more irons."

"You’ve never had a better administration for the gun industry than Obama, and now never a worse one for the gun industry than Trump,” an industry analyst said during the earnings call with Ruger."

1. The needle never ticked towards gun restriction. In fact, the opposite is true.

Delusional repugs slurping down a bowl of propaganda soup.

2. Most gun fanciers are worn/tapped out from the Obama years where they went out and acquired a

new love interest -- and or pacifier -- every time they thought of a black man in the white house. Gun sales and ownership in this country are largely a white wing racist hobby.

4. So true, I think a huge segment of that market would have to be the racists/nutbags

Talking about the ones who would swoop in and buy up more guns everytime a pundit rabbled on about "Obama gonna take yer gunnns"

Guess gloating about how Orange Dump is going to "round up all the muslims an' mexicans" isn't as much of a gun-buying-spree motivator as the Obama hatefest was. Or maybe they are all too broke now LOL
