(Down 17% this year)
(FOX News)

President Trump's election appears to be negatively affecting gun sales in the U.S. and the bubble appears to be bursting despite a staunch advocate for gun rights in the White House and Republicans ruling Congress.

"President Obama was the best gun salesman the world has ever seen," Karl Sorken, a production manager at Battle Rifle Co. in Houston. Sorken is an Army veteran and self-described liberal who voted for Obama and notes the change for the industry under Trump is a topic of conversation in the shop.

Fears of government limits on guns -- some real, some perceived -- led to a surge in demand during Obama's tenure and manufacturers leapt to keep up. Over the decade ending in 2015, the number of U.S. companies licensed to make firearms jumped 362 percent.
"The trends really almost since Election Day or election night have been that gun sales have slacked off," said Robert Spitzer, political science department chairman at State University of New York at Cortland. "When you take away Barack Obama and you give the Republicans control of both houses of Congress, which is extremely friendly to the gun lobby, then the political pressure subsides. And that surely is at least a key part of the explanation for the drop-off in sales."

The Washington Post reported that the FBI conducted about 500,000 fewer background checks in December 2016 then in 2015. Gun sales this year have reportedly dropped about 17 percent.

From 2004 to 2013, sales of all handguns -- pistols and revolvers -- increased nearly fivefold, according to industry figures. Sales of rifles tripled in that timeframe

Or the lack of basic knowledge of the effects of a long-term drop in demand on supply.

Isn't it?

You are so totally lost, as always

Because i am feeling particularly generous today I will break it down for you poor stupid fools and give you a free clue or two

You couldn't find certain self defense weapons and ammunition when Dear Leader was running the show, they were all sold out much of the time

Now that freedom is back in vogue, happy days are here again

You are insane, or a complete idiot

I didn't post anything remotely like your fevered delusions are telling you I posted

Didn't dispute FOX News report in any way

I maintained this since the election -- Obama was the gun industry's best friend, because the NRA went "Panic" and wallets opened, predictably and again and again, sheep led to the cash register.

Now they'll need a new boogy man to prop up gun sales.

After all, there are already more guns than people in the US, so they need to invent demand.

This is rather typical

In your standard smarmy know-it-all fashion, tour elitist pile of shit fashion, you attack people over the gun issue - by suggesting you alt left fanatics never attacks people over the gun issue

If it didn't fit your biases, despite the data presented, maybe you're not so interested in "fair and balanced" news.
