'The National Shooting Sports Foundation estimated 2018 sales at 13.1 million firearms, down from 14 million the previous year and down 16.5 percent from record 2016 sales of 15.7 million.

A previous boom that saw gun sales double over a decade through 2016 corresponded largely with Democratic President Barack Obama’s time in office, when fears that gun control laws would be enacted drove gun aficionados to stock up.'

“Obama was the best-selling president for guns. Every time he opened his mouth,” said Trisha Kinney, owner of Blue Collar Firearms in Colton, California.

Oh, the marvelous ways these stats could be used by POTUS to prove he's the best president for gun control.

Sales will correct some until another gun-control loon gets into the White House. Though that might depend on having the House controlled by Democrats that would pass some DOA gun-control bill which would certainly jump start a new buying surge.

I bought a few AR10s and AR15s several years back.

If I hadn't lost them all in that "boating accident", I would have been able to make a pretty penny once they finally get banned.

Oh well. Too bad they all went to the bottom of Lake Guntersville
