Gun stocks taking a beating... when to buy?

RGR - Sturm Ruger and Company is the one thats of interest to me. They just paid a huge pre-tax cliff dividend but have been paying an increasing quarterly dividend for the past 3 years after a 3 year hiatus from paying a dividend. despite losing about 15% over the past few days, it's still up +20% on the year.
I'm going to give it a few more days, but if it keeps dropping on just rumor, I'm going to dive in.

What's the rumors? I haven't been keeping up with it.
I would imagine that if there continues to be talks about stricter gun laws, gun sales will go up before the go down...

I just came her to post this same question. Smith & Wesson down 10% on it's largest trading day ever? I don't expect these prices to jump back up in a hurry but I feel they'll slowly recoup much of today's pps drop as the sentiment cools down in the next few months.

Stupid people. Gun stocks should go up because you are the first line of defense before the cops get there.
Everyone innocent person needs a gun. The criminals already have them.

Totally depends on legislation, everyone is just guessing at this point. My guess is that shotgun and handgun makers will do fine, but that is just a guess and I won't bet any money on it.

Smith and Wesson up 8% and Ruger up 5%. Nice rebound after yesterday

Anybody have a list of gun stocks other than the two mentioned above?
Also are Ruger and Smith and Wessson still good buys @ today's rates despite their rally from yesterday's lows?
Lastly, if the automatic weapons ban comes back, will it affect RGR and SWHC? Like the other poster asked, what is their exposure to automatic guns? Or so these guys only make hand guns?

Anyone have any thoughts on when the guns stocks will hit their peak? I'm currently up 28% in RGR with earning to be released late February. I have a gut feeling the stock will get a nice lift after the earnings are released but a lot can happen in a month.
