Prominent gun makers such as Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger & Co are
enjoying record sales of firearms. Smith & Wesson released stellar earnings
on Friday and raised guidance, both of which helped lead to its share price
rising by 12% in a single day. The company even stated that it hasn’t been
able to supply the market with enough guns. Sturm Ruger is having such a
good year that the CEO said: “It took us nearly all of 2011 to build one
million firearms, but in 2012 we accomplished it on August 15th.”
This strange phenomenon has caused analysts to wonder what’s behind this
sudden surge in gun sales. Some have speculated people are racing to buy
firearms because they’re afraid of stricter gun laws if the Obama
administration is re-elected. While this could be a major reason as to why
gun sales are so strong, in reality those fears are completely unfounded.
President Obama has done essentially nothing to increase gun control and has
repeatedly stated that he’s a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment, much to
the chagrin of the far left. Even in the wake of the tragic Colorado movie
theatre shooting, politicians and lawmakers have not taken any kind of
aggressive steps on gun control.
Others in the gun industry said that more Americans are buying guns for
protection because they’re afraid of a potential increase in crime rates
due to current economic hardship. This hypothesis seems a bit farfetched as
crime rates in the United States are at the lowest level in decades. This is
actually another interesting story in of itself because it goes against
common sense that crime would actually decrease as more people lose their
job and struggle to put food on the table.
Another theory is now that the Baby Boomer generation is retiring they are
buying weapons in order to protect themselves. Obviously as you get older it
becomes hard to run or fight, so the next best solution is to be armed with
a gun. This too may seem like a bit of a stretch, but the idea holds water
because statistics show that senior citizens are the largest group of new
buyers.
Which of these theories that actually turns out to be true will greatly
affect the gun industry. If the recent surge in gun sales is mostly due to
fear of further regulation, then those concerns could greatly dissipate
after people realize that Washington D.C has little motivation to mess
around with gun control. On the other hand, if the sales increase is in fact
a cause of the Baby Boom generation going into retirement, then this trend
could last for years which would certainly be beneficial to gun makers and
their stock price. | j****N 发帖数: 1289 | | s****r 发帖数: 31686 | 3 interesting...

| b*****e 发帖数: 5133 | 4 O8的影响力最大,CCW普及和近年公众对持枪态度持续上升也有帮助。
O8历史上明显支持枪支控制,这样的人却迟迟不动手那个才叫让人提心吊胆呢。
销量最大就是当初大选前和O8刚当选总统的前两年,现在是历史重演。 | f*********n 发帖数: 11154 | | S**********s 发帖数: 4534 | 6 Nonsense. Obama did threaten to push for a stricter gun control after the
colorado shooting, at least he said ao in his speech. | c*****y 发帖数: 5747 | 7 看了老大的转帖,
学习了,对购枪的原因分析的很透彻
赶脚o8也没咋地对咱这些NRA份子啊!
那为啥俺的NRA杂志每期都要咱们铁杆反对他?
难道俺们被忽悠了?
呵呵!
反正俺们射击俱乐部的大伙儿都是铁定不投O8的票了。
俺不喜欢他还有别的原因,呵呵
不是跟风啊!
一个从没开过车的人,上来就开一长途大巴,还奔驰在崎岖的山道上,
能有好!!!! | s****r 发帖数: 31686 | 8 even so, i still feel stock of smith and wessen sucks, it looks like a
horribly managed company, its gun might be a little bit better
