Reuters wrote, “In a court filing, Chief Executive Officer Bradley Johnson said USC boosted inventory before the 2016 White House race, expecting the higher sales that historically follow a Democrat’s election. But he said the Republican Trump’s unexpected win over Democrat Hillary Clinton was a factor in net sales falling to $557 million in 2018 from an average $885.3 million from 2012 to 2016, with an accompanying glut of inventory.”

The Democrat's election was guaranteed!!!

This kind of thing gives great credibility to the gun rights group/pol detractors who have said these groups/individuals want and need Democrat politicians and gun control laws. If a company's position was so fragile that it needed a Democrat president to threaten gun control then it's obvious who they'd be supporting.

Silly me. I thought it was called something like "free market forces at work". "A" happens in a free market, "B" is the likely result.

People bought tons of guns in the last three elections combined with a Republican White House means that demand is much lower. Democrats sell guns. Look at the price of AR 15s right now, it's like you can't give these things away.

Meanwhile...

While at the Cabella's in Grand Junction earlier this week I saw Mosins priced at nearly $300.00 a piece and a Ishy Mk III A1 at over $500.00. I didn't bother looking at the MSRs.

$300 for a Russian tomato stake makes no sense in a world of $500 and less AR15s.

Surplus guns have gone up in general. Seems the cheapest you find the mosins are just under $200

I remember when you could buy 91/30s for $90 at Gander Mountain.
