Firearms sales are down following the election of a President friendly to outdoor sports and the Second Amendment.
WalletHub has some facts-and-figures available on the firearms industry and states. It isn’t just all about the manufacture of firearms. Some very liberal states are home to some brand name manufactures. We’re talking about related industries. Just think about the number of people in Southern Idaho making custom holsters!

Firearms sales are down following the election of a President friendly to outdoor sports and the Second Amendment. Sales were booming last year when conventional wisdom favored Hillary Clinton.
