Since Trump hasn&#8217;t made any sudden moves on legal gun owners, no one is stocking up;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Gun makers and sellers favored Trump for president, as did the National Rifle Association. But people stocked up on guns and ammunition because they expected, or at least feared, that Hillary Clinton would win and seek tighter gun control.<\/p>\n<p>But she didn&#8217;t win, and gun sales began dropping the next day.<\/p>\n<p>Ruger CEO Christopher Killoy said stores that sell guns were left with inventory they couldn&#8217;t get rid of.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think there was a big hangover coming out of the election cycle that had to be worked off,&#8221; he said on a conference call with analysts. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, I&#8217;m sure gun manufacturers are happy that there&#8217;s no Hillary cutting into their inventory with new restrictions &#8211; like New York&#8217;s seven bullet limit on magazines, or California&#8217;s &#8220;bullet button&#8221;. There are lots of reasons o be upset with Trump, but the fact that he&#8217;s hurting gun sales isn&#8217;t one of them. <\/p>\n<p>Besides, some of us have all the guns and ammo that we need. Time for prices to go back down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN Money reports that Donald Trump being president hurts the gun industry, you know, because he &hellip; <a title=\"CNN: Trump hurts gun sales\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=73861\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">CNN: Trump hurts gun sales<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73861\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
