More bad research. Perhaps sales are slowing slightly but the last gun show I attended in June was packed and ammunition and many specific models of guns were sold out or unavailable. I see no slowdown. I also don't see any relaxation of buyer's fears of the current administrations possible actions to limit the 2nd amendment. I do see guns with recommended retail prices of $2,000 selling for $5,000. I suspect the gun manufacturers earnings will only be limited by their capacity, not by their sales.
