Gun Sales Crash...
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-14/crashing-gun-sales-post-obama-era-causes-mass-layoffs-remington-manufacturing-facili



See the Crash? No?

The NICS checks data isn't a one for one map of gun sales, but over that same period, what do we see?



And they are expecting a 10-15% drop?  Sure.  And so far that data bears that out.. but the numbers are still over 3 times the Bush Year baseline and the trend is still upward.

Red sky in morning, sailor take warning...

OMG, sales are declining!

 ::ohno::

Of course they are...people we're hedging against B Hussein O and the Merry Band of Gun-Grabbing DemoFascists taking their rights away...and it wasn't an unjustified concern.  Like reading any chart, take the spikes out of play and the overall trend is still up.  Duh, it's a math thing...and most manufacturers added more capacity and workers to meet the increasing demand, now the demand is slacking off and to what level we do not yet know...but if the average plant had 200 workers pre-Obama and added 200 more then contracted and let 120 go they are still 80 more than when they started...and idiots bitch?

Lets look at these fricken idiots a minute...

First, they are ungrateful for the net jobs added...one could assume they must have been ecstatic over the 80+ million just arbitrarily purged from the labor force as unnecessary by the Obama Admin as they would otherwise make the already over-cooked U-3 numbers looks significantly worse.

Second, what have these a-holes like Mayor Leonard done to foster a more hospitable Second Amendment environment?  Is he a part of Bloomie's Legion of DemoNazi gun-haters?  Is he actively combating the the Blooming Fascists?  What is he doing in his own state to make the environment of Liberty better?

Third, stock analysts like this Hardiman at Wedbush perpetuate overblown myths and incentivize perverse behavior...sure declining sales in the short term, but to pin this on a "Republican" in the White House is a gross overreaction that hides the more import issue of "who caused the big runnup to begin with and why?" (and i would throw in a snarky "stupid fothermucker" at the end of that just because...well, because!).  And, spreading the excrement that the threat is gone is a whale of a lie!  The Blooming Nazis are still out there, the DemoFascist pols are still out there, the Goebbels media is still out there, the proglodyte special interests are still out there and that terrorist bagman Soros is still out there giving millions to all of them!  Think they quit or are just quietly bidding their time?  This stupid SOB Hardiman does, but he's a fricken stock monkey, he just cares about short term impact, period.  Check back in year or two, see what this ape says...could be 180 degrees different.

Fourth, echoing the above theme...like I said in the Interesting Manufacturing Statistics thread - Now things are slacking off, which may be good for buying opportunities for weapons and ammo...I do not agree that a slacking off is wise...people shouldn't be feeling secure now...we a re still a heartbeat away from God-knows-what...

Stuff can change fast, the threats are nowhere near gone, keep your powder dry and well stocked!   ;)

June number is out.. https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/nics_firearm_checks_-_month_year.pdf/view

Down about 200K from last year.. but since last year was an all time high and the Socialist Traitor is no longer in charge, are we surprised? Its still almost 2 Million.  IN the Bush years that number was 500,000

Yeah, it's a pace thing...the clear and omnipresent danger with Hussein may have passed...underlying dysfunction of the republic in name only and its police state powers are still in place and can be applied by any future tyrant...the pace of acquisition has merely slowed a bit, it hasn't collapsed...

And how is that gun sales drop going?

https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/nics_firearm_checks_-_month_year.pdf/view

Well, they were down pretty hard in July. And beat last August, and still topped 20 Million so far this year.
If Nov and December just track last years numbers - or even fall short by 500,000  each month, 2016 will be the ONLY year that total NICs checks were Higher than the first year of Trump's presidency.

Now maybe libtards are finally arming up. But you know they won't learn ow to use them.. but I suspect that the real reason there is not a significant drop is because no one feels like Trump was or is the solution, and they continue to prepare for the inevitable.

I think more of the latter...even a child's drawing of a gun makes libiots shiver and wet themselves in fear...and we are going into the holiday shopping season and nothing says "I love you/I love myself" quite like a new hand-cannon or bang-stick!

Between normal Black Fridays sales at your favorite local vendor (I like Cabela's and Fleet Farm and have twice purchased subsequently lost in a boating accident items on Black Friday) and the rabid fascist rantings of gun-grabbing-goons...I am not the least surprised by the number.   If I would be surprised it would be to the other end...like, is that all?!

I think March set a new March record, thanks to Democrats shooting people up and calling for confiscation and demonizing owners.

All grabbers do is ensure more arms flood into citizen hands.  They cannot hide their intent if they wanted to, can't stop the signal, Mal!
