Gun Slump

Maybe, maybe not.  It's nothing but contradictions, lately.  This anonymous source says there is too much inventory, this other says sales are booming because prices are slashing, supposedly a bunch of empty tables at the Fun Show and it is easier to walk around.   Stock prices at Ruger and S&W on Wall Street are down.

However.  It does appear August of this year was a record August, according to the FBI.  It's not normally a gangbuster month.

But looking at previous years, month to month, sure NICS checks are down a little in 2017, but it's only slightly off the peak.  It's not cratering of sales.  It's not that big a slump.  Sure 2017 only beats 2016 in August and May so far, but 2016  was an absolute boom.  2017 beats 2015 EVERY month.  2015 was the previous record year!

"It's just Dems and Antifa buying guns for the Revolution, T-Bolt!"

Well at least they are pro 2A now, and maybe it will be a bipartisan issue again.
